Thinking fast and slow had the biggest impact in changing how I think about a lot of things, epic study of how you’re predisposed to think and make decisions in a particular way. Coincidentally I read it at about the same time as freakonomics!
- omot 8y agoSeconding fast and slow. I'm working my way through it right now. It's pretty mind blowing.
