More quotes by Daniel Kahneman
So your emotional state really has a lot to do with what you're thinking about and what you're paying attention to.
Daniel Kahneman
All of us roughly know what memory is. I mean, memory is sort of the storage of the past. It's the storage of our personal experiences. It's a very big deal.
Daniel Kahneman
It's very easy for trusted companies to mislead naive customers, and life insurance companies are trusted.
Daniel Kahneman
The amount of success it takes for leaders to become overconfident isn't terribly large.
Daniel Kahneman
Some memories come with a very compelling sense of truth about them. And that happens to be the case even with memories that are not true.
Daniel Kahneman
All of us would be better investors if we just made fewer decisions.
Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman
When action is needed, optimism, even of the mildly delusional variety, may be a good thing.
Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman
An investment said to have an 80% chance of success sounds far more attractive than one with a 20% chance of failure. The mind can't easily recognize that they are the same.
Daniel Kahneman
We can't live in a state of perpetual doubt, so we make up the best story possible and we live as if the story were true.
Daniel Kahneman
The concept of happiness has to be reorganised.
Daniel Kahneman
Question: So investors shouldn't delude themselves about beating the market? Answer: They're just not going to do it. It's just not going to happen.
Daniel Kahneman
Political columnists and sports pundits are rewarded for being overconfident.
Daniel Kahneman
People like leaders who look like they are dominant, optimistic, friendly to their friends, and quick on the trigger when it comes to enemies. They like boldness and despise the appearance of timidity and protracted doubt.
Daniel Kahneman
Divorced women, compared to married women, are less satisfied with their lives, which is not surprising. But they're actually more cheerful, when you look at the average mood they're in in the course of the day.
Daniel Kahneman
The planning fallacy is that you make a plan, which is usually a best-case scenario. Then you assume that the outcome will follow your plan, even when you should know better.
Daniel Kahneman
