27 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Gives great ways to follow up the ideas covered in the book as well as a quick summary of the ideas. I of course realise that it is not as good as reading the book but in a world of book where you have to choose what to read, these gives you a good introduction - so you know what all the fuss is about regarding a particular book ad then decide whether to read it or not.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Very little information included. Hardly a summary. A bit disappointed to say the least.

Thirty Second Summary
Kahneman challenges us to question the biases we carry with us, which color even what we consider to be pure intuition. He notes that all human beings make certain unconscious assumptions without first carefully examining the truth behind those assumptions. He shows us how to overcome this
