Kahneman and his book „Thinking fast and slow“ are totaly overrated. In fact „despite Kahneman's previous contributions to the field of decision making, most of the book's ideas are based on 'scientific literature with shaky foundations'. A general lack of replication in the empirical studies cited in the book was given as a justification.“ Unfortunately you will find that statement only at the end of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow. It should be stated at the beginning. So many wrong assumptions especially in economics, but also management theory are based on this book. But nothing of is book can be replicated: https://replicationindex.com/2020/12/30/a-meta-scientific-perspective-on-thinking-fast-and-slow/ https://replicationindex.com/2020/12/30/a-meta-scientific-pe... Unfortunately far to few people know about this.
