I'd highly encourage everyone to read Kahneman's book. It really makes you appreciate the fact that what we consider "thinking" and "decision making" are usually just sequences of lazy cognitive biases that [poorly] approximate solutions for substituted questions. Unfortunately, I suspect that there already is a response bias to the readership of that book, since only those who are willing to question their own thinking process and metacognition would be interested in this kind of book.
- diego 15y agoI also enjoyed that book very much, and I'm trying to expose it to people who otherwise would not come in contact with it or the general topics it discusses. We're probably preaching to the choir here :)
- x3c 15y agoI hadn't heard of that book and because of this post, its on my reading list. So, some people in this choir maybe wayward and would do well with sermons like these :)
