Sinossi
Siamo stati abituati a ritenere che all'uomo, in quanto essere dotato di razionalità, sia sufficiente tenere a freno l'istinto e l'emotività per essere in grado di valutare in modo obiettivo le situazioni che deve affrontare e di scegliere, tra varie alternative, quella per sé più vantaggiosa. Gli studi sul processo decisionale condotti ormai da molti anni dal premio Nobel Daniel Kahneman hanno mostrato quanto illusoria sia questa convinzione e come, in realtà, siamo sempre esposti a condizionamenti - magari da parte del nostro stesso modo di pensare - che possono insidiare la capacità di giudicare e di agire lucidamente. Illustrando gli ultimi risultati della sua ricerca, Kahneman ci guida in un'esplorazione della mente umana e ci spiega come essa sia caratterizzata da due processi di pensiero ben distinti: uno veloce e intuitivo (sistema 1), e uno più lento ma anche più logico e riflessivo (sistema 2). Se il primo presiede all'attività cognitiva automatica e involontaria, il secondo entra in azione quando dobbiamo svolgere compiti che richiedono concentrazione e autocontrollo. Efficiente e produttiva, questa organizzazione del pensiero ci consente di sviluppare raffinate competenze e abilità e di eseguire con relativa facilità operazioni complesse. Ma può anche essere fonte di errori sistematici (bias), quando l'intuizione si lascia suggestionare dagli stereotipi e la riflessione è troppo pigra per correggerla.

Recensioni
In the last few years two books took me FOREVER to get through. The first was Daniel Dennett's "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" and the second is Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow." What caused this? What do they have in common? Both books explain, in minute detail, simple concepts with immensely far-rea Leggi tutto
An unrelentingly tedious book that can be summed up as follows. We are irrationally prone to jump to conclusions based on rule-of-thumb shortcuts to actual reasoning, and in reliance on bad evidence, even though we have the capacity to think our way to better conclusions. But we're lazy, so we don't Leggi tutto
This is a fascinating book. Reading this book means not having to read so many others. For example, you could avoid having to read, Sway, Blink, Nudge and probably a dozen or so other books on Behavioural Economics. And the best part of it is that this is the guy (or, at least one half of the two gu Leggi tutto
I kind of want to cut this book in half, praise the first part, and stick the second part in some corner to gather dust. Not that the second part is bad, mind you; the entire book is well-written and obviously the product of someone who knows their field. There’s just a lot of it. Thinking, Fast and Leggi tutto
As the blurb summarises very well, in “Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a ground-breaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Kahneman exposes the Leggi tutto
If your objective, like it is when one finishes reading a self-help book, is to implement what Mr. Kahneman has to say in real life and benefit from it, I should warn you, you will be sorely disappointed. Believe it or not, in my opinion, I believe Mr. Kahneman is telling you exactly that in this bo Leggi tutto
Hands down, one of the best books in its genre. The book is a lengthy, self-conscious and a challenging read but highly recommended if you're interested in why human beings behave the way they behave. It's given me so much 'oh snap, so that's why we're so dumb' moments that at this point I don't eve Leggi tutto
Daniel Kahneman is a Genius. But if you know his work, you know that already. A Nobel Prize winner, his work is weighty and a bit recondite into the bargain. But hasn't he ignored the CHRISTIAN worldview, the world of good and evil? For isn't this book SPIRITUALLY rather trite, being addressed only t Leggi tutto
Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman Thinking, Fast and Slow was the 2012 winner of the National Academies Communication Award for best creative work that helps the public understanding of topics in behavioral science, engineering and medicine.

It is very difficult to judge, review or analyze a book that basically challenges the very idea of human “Rationalism”. Are humans perfectly rational? This dude, Daniel Kahneman, got a Nobel Prize in Economics for saying they are not. An ordinary person might have been treated with glare or a stingi Leggi tutto
