NOTE: The March reading will be chapters 3 thru 5…..
Our February and March book is an in-depth examination about how we think, and why we think the ways we do. It looks to be a very intense and involved read, but a subject sorely needed. We need to be a people who know why we think as we do.
Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
Daniel Kahneman is an Israeli-American psychologist educated at Hebrew University and the University of California, Berkeley. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2002, Kahneman is currently Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Public affairs at Princeton University‘s Woodrow Wilson School.
This present work, according to Nassim Nicholas Taleb (The Black Swan) is “a landmark book in social thought”; and according to David Brooks, “helped instigate a cultural shift that is already producing astounding results.” Brooks concluded his New York Times review (10/22/2011) indicating that “Kahneman and Tversky (author’s research partner) are like the Lewis and Clark of the mind.”
