Read People like a Book isn’t a normal book on body language or facial expressions. Yes, it includes all of those things, as well as new techniques on how to truly detect lies in your everyday life, but this book is more about understanding human psychology and nature. We are who we are because of our experiences and pasts, and this guides our habits and behaviors more than anything else. Parts of this book are like the most interesting and applicable psychology textbook you’ve ever used. Take a look inside yourself and others!

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn.

We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. For Nassim Nicholas Taleb, black swans underlie almost everything about our world, from the rise of religions to events in our own personal lives. Elegant, startling, and universal in its applications, The Black Swan will change the way you look at the world.

Publisher's Summary
The guru to the gurus at last shares his knowledge with the rest of us. Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman's seminal studies in behavioral psychology, behavioral economics, and happiness studies have influenced numerous other authors, including Steven Pinker and Malcolm Gladwell. In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman at last offers his own, first book for the general public. It is a lucid and enlightening summary of his life's work. It will change the way you think about thinking.
Two systems drive the way we think and make choices, Kahneman explains: System One is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System Two is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Examining how both systems function within the mind, Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities as well as the biases of fast thinking and the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and our choices. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, he shows where we can trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking, contrasting the two-system view of the mind with the standard model of the rational economic agent.
Kahneman's singularly influential work has transformed cognitive psychology and launched the new fields of behavioral economics and happiness studies. In this path-breaking book, Kahneman shows how the mind works, and offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and personal lives - and how we can guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
What the critics say
“A tour de force... Kahneman’s book is a must read for anyone interested in either human behavior or investing. He clearly shows that while we like to think of ourselves as rational in our decision making, the truth is we are subject to many biases. At least being aware of them will give you a better chance of avoiding them, or at least making fewer of them.” (Larry Swedroe, CBS News)
“A major intellectual event... The work of Kahneman and Tversky was a crucial pivot point in the way we see ourselves.” (David Brooks, The New York Times)
“[Thinking, Fast and Slow] is wonderful, of course. To anyone with the slightest interest in the workings of his own mind, it is so rich and fascinating that any summary would seem absurd.” (Michael Lewis, Vanity Fair)
Editorial Review
What if you could tap into your own mind to understand how you think and make choices? The potential benefits could be limitless. Psychologist and economist Daniel Kahneman has won a Nobel Prize for exactly that and now, you can listen to what he has to say. His bestselling work Thinking, Fast and Slow summarizes decades of research on the two thinking processes which govern the human mind: fast and slow. In this audiobook, Kahneman skillfully addresses the subjects of heuristics and biases, overconfidence in human judgement, the process of logic and how we make choices, to name a few. Not only is this an occasion for introspection and self-development, but his research has revolutionized the field of cognitive science and the repercussions of his thesis span from behavioural economics to medicine. Listen very carefully to Patrick Egan’s narration, as this audiobook is packed with valuable information. Thanks to his steady pace and confident tone, listeners will be able to follow Kahneman’s intricate theories on higher thinking. In addition to his impressive credentials in education, Kahneman has been named by magazines such as Foreign Policy and The Economist as one of the world’s most influential thinkers and economists. His book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, has received awards from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Globe and Mail.

Very difficult to follow in audio format
The material is good but much is hard to apply.
The author presents little in terms of solutions to many fallacies or traps that our minds get us into.
I spaced out for entire chapters when the book discussed financial matters as the numbers are very difficult to compute.
Furthermore, many examples and quick checks require a knowledge of American history, slightly more difficult for a canadian to keep up with.
I will likely buy the book in paper to better understand the material.

You've been thinking wrong.
Great read for anyone interested in behavioural economics! Daniel breaks down how our brains work; what we tell them to do and what they tell us to do. You won't make snap judgements as easily after reading this book and you will find it much easier to make comfortable decisions after learning how to use your brain most effectively.

Very informative - boost your critical thinking!
I quite enjoyed this book, at least the first half. Daniel's models of System 1 and System 2 brains is really easy to follow and understand. Have your mind blown by how much you really are biased by your experience and by what your brain feels is important to know and store in memory. Learn how lazy the brain is when making a decision... are you quick to judge? Well, you could be dead wrong and still feel like you are right.
Now, the second half of this book, while very informative, slows right down. There is a lot of information about statistics and research and all manner of stuff. All of it very interesting, but I found it slow and hard to listen to at times.
Pick this one up. It's the beginning of a journey.

unnecessary
The whole book could be summed up in one chapter. I feel like the guy just likes to listen to himself talk. most of what he talks about is completely useless and he never gets to the point. save yourself the time and read the last sentence of every chapter or better yet, just ask Chat to GPT to give you the summary of the entire book

The book to end all books...
I hope I don't over-geek about this book in this review, but I honestly think that if all books and knowledge were wiped out from the planet and all we had left was Daniel Kahneman's research, we would still rise as a civilized world (perhaps a much better one). So, may I respectfully suggest that you stop reading reviews and go and get this book? Enjoy :)
