Publisher Description
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

Customer Reviews
Excellent book, but not suitable for audiobook
The book itself is amazing in explaining how brain works, how the brain thinks and etc.
But, in order to highlight these ways of working, you are often asked a question to answer in the book (some mathematical) and without pen and paper are sometimes very difficult to think and answer.
(And it does have contents and figures attached to the audiobook)
Thinking, Fast and Slow
Really disaappinted that I did not read the reviews first. I've also had the issue that the pdf accompaniment is nowhere to be seen. Very frustrating as can't find it anywhere to download either :-(
The book is 5 stars, the app is 0 stars.
Book is amazing, this is more of a complaint to the audiobook not being split by chapters, instead by 202 random ‘tracks’. I’ve tried to speak to customer service about this but they were useless. Hoping a bad review might do the trick. I’m moving over to audible if not
