More quotes by Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman
People talk of the new economy and of reinventing themselves in the workplace, and in that sense most of us are less secure.
Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman
Many people will admit that they made a mistake [putting money in dot-coms or telecoms at their peak] But that doesn’t mean that they’ve changed their mind about anything in particular. It doesn’t mean that they are now able to avoid that mistake.
Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman
The premise of this book is that it is easier to recognize other people's mistakes than your own.
Daniel Kahneman
What happens with fear is that probability doesn't matter very much. That is, once I have raised the possibility that something terrible can happen to your child, even though the possibility is remote, you may find it very difficult to think of anything else. Emotion becomes dominant.
Daniel Kahneman
I have always emphasized the willingness to discard.
Daniel Kahneman
You are more likely to learn something by finding surprises in your own behavior than by hearing surprising facts about people in general.
Daniel Kahneman
Most things that couples disagree upon aren't worth more than a day's combat.
Daniel Kahneman
Groups tend to be more extreme than individuals.
Daniel Kahneman
True intuitive expertise is learned from prolonged experience with good feedback on mistakes.
Daniel Kahneman
There is a huge wave of interest in happiness among researchers. There is a lot of happiness coaching. Everybody would like to make people happier.
Daniel Kahneman
Money does not buy you happiness, but lack of money certainly buys you misery.
Daniel Kahneman
It's very easy for trusted companies to mislead naive customers, and life insurance companies are trusted.
