The phenomenal international bestseller - 2 million copies sold - that will change the way you make decisions'A lifetime's worth of wisdom' Steven D. Levitt, co-author of Freakonomics'There have been many good books on human rationality and irrationality, but only one masterpiece. That masterpiece is Thinking, Fast and Slow' Financial TimesWhy is there more chance we'll believe something if it's in a bold type face? Why are judges more likely to deny parole before lunch? Why do we assume a good-looking person will be more competent? The answer lies in the two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking. This book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical), and gives you practical techniques for slower, smarter thinking. It will enable to you make better decisions at work, at home, and in everything you do.

Daniel Kahneman, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for his seminal work in psychology that challenged the rational model of judgment and decision making, is one of our most important thinkers. His ideas have had a profound and widely regarded impact on many fields—including economics, medicine, and politics—but until now, he has never brought together his many years of research and thinking in one book. In the highly anticipated Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 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 behavior. The impact of loss aversion and overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the challenges of properly framing risks at work and at home, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning the next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems work together to shape our judgments and decisions. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, 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 business and our personal lives—and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble

Atención y esfuerzo de Daniel Kahneman es, sin duda, el libro más influyente en el campo de la psicología de la atención de los últimos veinticinco años. El impacto de su publicación fue enorme y todavía su lectura resulta imprescindible para comprender los fenómenos relacionados con la atención. No sólo presenta una visión comprehensiva de un campo que se caracteriza por la formulación de micromodelos, a veces diseñados para dar cuenta de los resultados de un único paradigma experimental, sino que los planteamientos expuestos siguen siendo de gran actualidad. - La edición en lengua española que presenta ahora Biblioteca Nueva ha estado al cuidado del Profesor Juan Botella, de la Universidad de Madrid. -

Imagine that two doctors in the same city give different diagnoses to identical patients - or that two judges in the same court give different sentences to people who have committed matching crimes.Now imagine that the same doctor and the same judge make different decisions depending on whether it is morning or afternoon, or Monday rather than Wednesday, or they haven't yet had lunch. These are examples of noise: variability in judgements that should be identical. In Noise, Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony and Cass R.Sunstein show how noise produces errors in many fields, including in medicine, law, public health, economic forecasting, forensic science, child protection, creative strategy, performance review and hiring. And although noise can be found wherever people are making judgements and decisions, individuals and organizations alike commonly ignore its impact, at great cost. Packed with new ideas, and drawing on the same kind of sharp analysis and breadth of case study that made Thinking, Fast and Slow and Nudge international bestsellers, Noise explains how and why humans are so susceptible to noise and bias in decision-making.We all make bad judgements more than we think.

Is our case strong enough to go to trial? Will interest rates go up? Can I trust this person? Such questions - and the judgments required to answer them - are woven into the fabric of everyday experience. This book examines how people make such judgments. The study of human judgment was transformed in the 1970s, when Kahneman and Tversky introduced their 'heuristics and biases' approach and challenged the dominance of strictly rational models. Their work highlighted the reflexive mental operations used to make complex problems manageable and illuminated how the same processes can lead to both accurate and dangerously flawed judgments. The heuristics and biases framework generated a torrent of influential research in psychology - research that reverberated widely and affected scholarship in economics, law, medicine, management, and political science. This book compiles the most influential research in the heuristics and biases tradition since the initial collection of 1982 (by Kahneman, Slovic, and Tversky). The various contributions develop and critically analyze the initial work on heuristics and biases, supplement these initial statements with emerging theory and empirical findings, and extend the research of the framework to new real-world applications.

This book presents the definitive exposition of 'prospect theory', a compelling alternative to the classical utility theory of choice. Building on the 1982 volume, Judgement Under Uncertainty, this book brings together seminal papers on prospect theory from economists, decision theorists, and psychologists, including the work of the late Amos Tversky, whose contributions are collected here for the first time. While remaining within a rational choice framework, prospect theory delivers more accurate, empirically verified predictions in key test cases, as well as helping to explain many complex, real-world puzzles. In this volume, it is brought to bear on phenomena as diverse as the principles of legal compensation, the equity premium puzzle in financial markets, and the number of hours that New York cab drivers choose to drive on rainy days. Theoretically elegant and empirically robust, this volume shows how prospect theory has matured into a new science of decision making.

Resumen de Pensar rápido, pensar despacio - ¿Por qué el texto en negrita aumenta la probabilidad de que nos creamos algo? ¿Por qué es más frecuente que los jueces denieguen la libertad condicional antes de comer? ¿Por que pensamos que alguien que parece atractivo sera mas inteligente? Las dos formas en que tomamos decisiones -rapidamente, de forma intuitiva, y lentamente, de forma racional- tienen la clave de la respuesta. Le proporciona herramientas utiles para pensar de forma mas lenta e inteligente y le explica como nuestros pensamientos se dejan llevar por la inexactitud y los prejuicios incluso cuando creemos que estamos siendo logicos. Podremos tomar decisiones mas sabias en todos nuestros empeños, tanto en el trabajo como en casa.Descargo de responsabilidad: Este es un resumen del libro, no el libro original, y contiene opiniones sobre el libro.

Los grandes principios de Kahneman sobre la toma de decisiones y los factores que influyen en el éxito.Las evidencias son inquietantes: la mayoría de las grandes iniciativas de negocios no rinden fruto. Segun los economistas, los malos resultados son una consecuencia inevitable del hecho de que las empresas corran riesgos racionales en situaciones inciertas. Sin embargo, tras analizarlo desde la psicologia, los autores consideran que ese fracaso es consecuencia de una toma de decisiones basada en un optimismo ilusorio en lugar de en una valoracion racional de ganancias, perdidas y probabilidades.Los sesgos cognitivos y las presiones organizativas que se hallan en el origen de ese exceso de optimismo son omnipresentes, pero sus efectos pueden atenuarse. Complementando los procesos tradicionales de prevision con el analisis de iniciativas analogas finalizadas con anterioridad, los directivos pueden discernir de manera mucho mas precisa el desenlace probable de un proyecto. Esa vision externa es un baño de realidad que reduce las probabilidades de que una empresa se embarque en una inversion de tiempo y dinero desastrosa.Los IMPRESCINDIBLES de Conecta, en colaboracion con Harvard Business Review, permiten acceder a las grandes ideas de los autores de referencia que inspiran a directivos y profesionales. Este volumen reune los textos La falsa ilusion del exito, de Daniel Kahneman y Dan Lovallo, y Antes de tomar una gran decision, de Kahneman, Lovallo y Olivier Sibony.
