I somehow feel everyone pretends to have read “Thinking fast and slow” by Daniel Kahneman, but whenever I dig deep, most of the time I get to know they just bought the book but watched a video summary (it’s quite a biggie)
- prepend 3y agoI read that it’s the most started and not finished kindle book ever. It’s great though and definitely worth reading.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoWhile I do not care for Amazon sniffing on reading habits, I am curious what else tops the list. Also if the failure to finish was in absolute numbers or a relative percentage.
- usgroup 3y agoIts a short and approachable -- and turns out wrong in parts -- book, so I'm not sure why its readership is doubtful?
- dagw 3y agoI will admit I bailed half way through, as I felt it was just repeating itself over and over with slightly different words and examples. That plus the fact that by the time I started reading it it was becoming more and more clear that much of the experimental evidence presented didn't stand up to scrutiny. All the being said the parts I did read were interesting and I buy the overall framework presented, if not all the conclusions they draw. It is also a really interesting document on how supposedly cutting edge psychological research was done.
- thorin 3y agoAgree, maybe I'd already heard it's central premise too much before I read it but it seemed like a book on stating the bleeding obvious again and again. It also felt like a blog post rather than a full book. I tend to think that about a lot of these kind of books though.
