Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Daniel Kahneman's pioneering work that tackles questions of intuition and rationality, read by Patrick Egan.
In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a ground-breaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think and make choices. One system is fast, intuitive and emotional; the other is slower, more deliberative and more logical. Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities-and also the faults and biases-of fast thinking and reveals the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behaviour. The importance of properly framing risks, the effects of cognitive biases on how we view others, the dangers of prediction, the right ways to develop skills, the pros and cons of fear and optimism, the difference between our experience and memory of events, the real components of happiness-each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems work together to shape our judgements and decisions.
Drawing on a lifetime's experimental experience, 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 professional and our personal lives-and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Thinking, Fast and Slow will transform the way you take decisions and experience the world.

long but thought provoking
A very long book but very thought provoking and not to be read/listened to if distracted or in a rush. it outlines much of the work done by Daniel Kahneman and the many people he collaborated with over many years. If you are interested in human behaviour, psychology and economics this is a must read.

Life changing: arguably one of the best books
Kahnemann is a master in his field and a superb writer. His narrator does not let him down. The book changes the way you look at the world and think about your decisions. An absolute delight and definitely among the best books I have listened to.

Thoughtful piece
Enjoyed the high level overview of psychology and the way that Economic theory is slowly debunked.
Wish I'd read this prior to being an undergrad.

Brilliant
The first audiobook that I have also purchased as a paper book as well. Something I will read again and again, dipping into to improve decision making and develop practice in my field of work.

Very Useful
My only criticism is that I struggled to find all of the pdfs, especially the graphs; and they are occasionally important.

Fascinating
Where does Thinking, Fast and Slow rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks over the past two decades, and this was in the top ten percent.
What does Patrick Egan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
The narrator did an excellent job.
Any additional comments?
LIsten to it. You'll learn a lot.

Very interesting. Intelligent book.
Some hot ideas. Inserted in between are some Kahneman fallacies 😊
Good listen and I enjoyed it and learnt a lot.
Listen critically.
