Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking Fast and Slow": A Macat Analysis

Written by Macat and Daniel Kahneman

Narrated by Macat.com

Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman offers a general audience access to over six decades of insight and expertise from a Nobel Laureate in an accessible and interesting way. Kahneman’s work focuses largely on the problem of how we think, and warns of the dangers of trusting to intuition – which springs from “fast” but broad and emotional thinking – rather than engaging in the slower, harder, but surer thinking that stems from logical, deliberate decision-making.

Written in a lively style that engages readers in the experiments for which Kahneman won the Nobel, Thinking, Fast and Slow’s real triumph is to force us to think about our own thinking.

[Uros · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

It is not a full book, but just a summary

[Drew Riley · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I don’t think this is the actual book, but more of an overview/study guide.

The book is so good.However, this audio is so shallow, it’s more of a guide .

This book is reputitive an uninformative. It analysis a book but keeps talking about how the auther of the book was born in tel aviv.

The narrative is in outline form. It seems abstracted by a computer. The redundancy is inane. The outline form seems to be an inane abstraction by a computer. Key points: There is a redundancy here that even a computer would find inane. The narrative is in outline form...

Very repetitive. Some sections literally repeated earlier sections. If you can hang with the lack of organization and editing, you can get a fairly good idea of key theses. I say that having read (most of) the book; I wanted a quick review. Given that MACAT is all about critical thinking, I found the poor organization sadly ironic.

Is this a summary of the book or an essay written by a student about the author ? I don’t care what the writing in the original book “shows” about the authors intellect or its impact on society! I just want to know all the key lessons the book teaches without having to read it myself! Mostly because scribd doesn’t have the book.

[Marília · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

If you like psychology and how it can affect the behaviour even in areas as Economics, this book is for you. Very good summary!

Not worth it. ....... . ... ... ... .. ...

[Deezadesigns · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Too much repetition for an analysis. The author's credentials & historical influences are repeated over and over. One paragraph rather than 3 plus chapters should suffice. I gave up after the 3rd chapter began with a repeat of previous info. So I am moving on to another publisher's analysis, which knows that a person who chooses a summary wants to save time rather than waste it.

[Alexandru Stanciu · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I don't feel I actually learned something actionable. The book reiterates the same premise in many ways, but no solution. At least I missed it, if there was any.

[Wayne · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Its not the book. Its a bad review. Real bad. IA?
