I agree with you but wonder if the article was like that from Daniel Kahneman himself or the journalist. Having dealt with the later I really understand how good at bending what you said they are.
Also, if Daniel was a pop scientist, would he be given nobel prize in his field? Yes, Obama comes to mind, but still.

But I really think these "universal secrets of the mind" books, written for a general audience, go too far in clouding original and critical thought by presenting such a slick, skewed narrative. They're sold as guides to better thinking but wind up inducing the opposite. It feels dishonest.
