Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

Daniel Kahneman
“Nothing in life is as important as you think it is, while you are thinking about it”

“A general “law of least effortâ€� applies to cognitive as well as physical
exertion. The law asserts that if there are several ways of achieving the
same goal, people will eventually gravitate to the least demanding course
of action. In the economy of action, effort is a cost, and the acquisition of
skill is driven by the balance of benefits and costs. Laziness is built deep into our nature.”
Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

Daniel Kahneman
“Odd as it may seem, I am my remembering self, and the experiencing self, who does my living, is like a stranger to me.”

“Nothing in life is as important as you think it is when you are thinking about it.”
Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

Daniel Kahneman
“Mood evidently affects the operation of System 1: when we are uncomfortable and unhappy, we lose touch with our intuition.
These findings add to the growing evidence that good mood, intuition, creativity, gullibility, and increased reliance on System 1 form a cluster. At the other pole, sadness, vigilance, suspicion, an analytic approach, and increased effort also go together. A happy mood loosens the control of System 2 over performance: when in a good mood, people become more intuitive and more creative but also less vigilant and more prone to logical errors.”
Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

Daniel Kahneman
“The illusion that we understand the past fosters overconfidence in our ability to predict the future.”
Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

Daniel Kahneman
“The world makes much less sense than you think. The coherence comes mostly from the way your mind works.”
Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

Daniel Kahneman
“Because we tend to be nice to other people when they please us and nasty when they do not, we are statistically punished for being nice and rewarded for being nasty.”
