Why it’s on the list: Kahneman’s summary of a career’s work on the two systems of judgment, and the catalogue of biases that follows from the fast one.

Where I heard about it

  • Spotted at Amazon Books at Washington Square, Tigard — December 2018 (Books photo album)

  • A reply to @WillManidis — in the thread under his question “what is the single best book you can read that will explain an entire industry?” (June 2025).

  • Li Lu — on Li Lu’s Recommended Book List, under Science, Philosophy, Evolution, History of Human Civilization, Human History.

  • In Patrick O’Shaughnessy’s A Curriculum for the Modern Investor, saved by Kyle in April 2020 — A Curriculum for the Modern Investor (Patrick O’Shaughnessy).
