More quotes by Daniel Kahneman
In essence, the optimistic style involves taking credit for successes but little blame for failures.
Daniel Kahneman
Adaptation seems to be, to a substantial extent, a process of reallocating your attention.
Daniel Kahneman
Each additional day together is a gift. The end of the day means the end of hostilities, the recognition that the underlying shared values and commitment to the relationship trump the need for one last dig or self-righteous justification.
Daniel Kahneman
When people think of the outcomes of their decisions, they think much more short term than that. They think in terms of gains and losses.
Daniel Kahneman
Overconfidence is a powerful source of illusions, primarily determined by the quality and coherence of the story that you can construct, not by its validity.
Daniel Kahneman
Hindsight bias makes surprises vanish.
Daniel Kahneman
We have no reason to expect the quality of intuition to improve with the importance of the problem. Perhaps the contrary: high-stake problems are likely to involve powerful emotions and strong impulses to action.
Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman
Experts don't know exactly where the boundaries of their expertise are.
Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman
If individuals are rational, there is no need to protect them against their own choices.
Daniel Kahneman
We are far too willing to reject the belief that much of what we see in life is random.
Daniel Kahneman
After a crisis we tell ourselves we understand why it happened and maintain the illusion that the world is understandable. In fact, we should accept the world is incomprehensible much of the time.
Daniel Kahneman
We're generally overconfident in our opinions and our impressions and judgments.
Daniel Kahneman
Most people are highly optimistic most of the time.
Daniel Kahneman
Through some combination of culture and biology, our minds are intuitively receptive to religion.
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
There's a very good reason for why economics developed the way it did, and that is that in many situations, the assumption that people will exploit the opportunities available to them is very plausible, and it simplifies the analysis of how markets will behave.
Daniel Kahneman
When you look at the books about well-being, you see one word - it's happiness. People do not distinguish.
Daniel Kahneman
Individual investors predictably flock to stocks in companies that are in the news.
