About this audiobook

Daniel Kahneman's pioneering work that tackles questions of intuition and rationality, read by Patrick Egan.
One of the most influential books of the 21st century: the ground-breaking psychology classic - over 10 million copies sold - that changed the way we think about thinking
Why do we make the decisions we do? Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman revolutionised our understanding of human behaviour with Thinking, Fast and Slow. Distilling his life's work, Kahneman showed that there are two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking. His book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error, bias and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical) and gives practical techniques that enable us all to improve our decision-making. This profound exploration of the marvels and limitations of the human mind has had a lasting impact on how we see ourselves.
'There have been many good books on human rationality and irrationality, but only one masterpiece. That masterpiece is Thinking, Fast and Slow' Financial Times

‘Will be remembered hundreds of years from now’ David Brooks, The New York Times
‘Stunningly profound... A lifetime's worth of wisdom presented in a manner that is simple and engaging’ Steven D. Levitt, author of Freakonomics

Sadly I can't recommend the AudioBook. I was unable to listen to it as the reader sounds as if he's being forced to read the book or has a chip on his shoulder. No matter how good the content the reader ruined it for me.

Fascinating book. It is let down as an audio book by the lack of the figures, exercises and drawings which evidently accompany the book and are fairly frequently referred to in the text

A very deep look into how the two "systems" of the mind work. Well worth a listen, although can be a bit of a tedium in places.
