Thinking, Fast and Slow

Be prepared to subject yourself to exercises that are not easy…

I’ve taken a few econ and statistics courses throughout undergrad and graduate school but I’ve never actually taken a psychology course. This book combines the disciplines to explain how humans make decisions. The chapters were short but dense with interactive exercises and details of research experiments conducted by the author and others in his field. Each chapter provided insights seeking to explain a new theory, including some applications to every day life. While it was not an easy read, I found myself saying “one more” every time I finished a chapter.
