Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.
 (Tried to read this in November 2023) 
  •  I’m sure the author put a lot of work in this book but man you like to talk and talk and I just needed you to shut up, re think it all and explain it in simple terms. I am sure this is great for other academics and researchers, but this was just not for me.
  • I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything anyway, I can watch a YouTube video summarizing this in simpler words whenever lol
  •  After two chapters I don’t think that he said anything significant.
  •  And to be honest, this book was so large I’m almost glad I DNF it and put it out of my TBR
