Kahneman's work with Amos Tversky is the subject of Michael Lewis's The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds
In the international bestseller, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman, the renowned psychologist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation--each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions.
Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives--and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and selected by The New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best books of 2011, Thinking, Fast and Slow is destined to be a classic.

Customer Reviews
This book make me realize many issues about my character, the way I make decisions in everyday life, and most important, understand how people think and how it impact ours too.This book is such an impactful book.
This is a very good book!
This book is just as it should be: full of references to ground-breaking studies in psychology; relevant personal antidotes; and the never-ending pitfalls that scientists encounter in designing, conducting, and analyzing studies. I have yet to complete the book, but am seriously impressed. One of the best books I have probably ever read or can conceive of when talking about behavioral econ.
Very recommended book!
Thought-provoking! I can't believe how flawed my thinking was. If more people read this, perhaps it will become a beginning of a better decision making around us.
