Off the bat: I say this is one of “those boring books” that I think everyone should read.

I say “boring” as the author is a PHD (and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics), and I will admit it can be a bit tedious to read at times (also note: if you read the audiobook like me, several figures he mentions are not “in” the audiobook you will need to reference them).

However, this book is high on my recommendation list. Everybody thinks. This book specifically looks at the “fast thinking” compared to “slow thinking”. IE you can have a reaction to “do you like X?” almost instantly but 13×37=? Will take you more time. The author excels at keeping this book accessible to anyone. The topics at times feel like a psychology 101 class, or econ 101. However, he excelled at being in your brain and knowing how you will think.  This also showed many biases people will not be aware of but make total sense.

Oddly one of the most self-reflecting books that does not really fit the self-improvement genre.
