Thinking, Fast and Slow Paperback – May 24, 2012

Although the behaviorial economics economics is right now thrown doubt on because of either faked or dubious experimental records by a couple of scholars, this book impresses me with its coherent, convincing argument which reconciles with what I have been feeling about irraationality of human beings. However, that might be exactly what " System 1" of me tells me, though. This book teaches us how to exercise our "System 2" to put things in perspective so that we can enjoy more well-being as well as life satisfaction.

I Like the book so much

英語の勉強に買いました。ゆっくり読むとおもしろいです。

While the side effects of better understanding how my mind works was great, the real meat of reading this book was:- To be called "abjectly poor" by a 89 years old professor emeritus, best seller author and Nobel Prize awardee because my attitude would be different if my net worth were higher or lower by a "few thousand dollars".- Being assumed to know how to drive, not to mention owning a car.All jokes aside it was a great, enlightening read.

我々の行動は95%直感で決まっているとも言われますが、fase(feel, unconscious）とslow(thinking)について学べ、我々の多くが陥る非合理性の特徴についても書かれていて面白かったです。

I love the book. It arrived just as advertised and sealed perfectly.

Not so good as I expected

Besides the contents of this book, the way of writing is excellent. Whenever I start reading this book, time flies.
