More quotes by Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman
We are far too willing to reject the belief that much of what we see in life is random.
Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman
Below an income of ... $60,000 a year, people are unhappy, and they get progressively unhappier the poorer they get. Above that, we get an absolutely flat line. ... Money does not buy you experiential happiness, but lack of money certainly buys you misery.
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
When you look at the books about well-being, you see one word - it's happiness. People do not distinguish.
Daniel Kahneman
People who are cognitively busy are also more likely to make selfish choices, use sexist language, and make superficial judgments in social situations.
Daniel Kahneman
The premise of this book is that it is easier to recognize other people's mistakes than your own.
Daniel Kahneman
Individual investors predictably flock to stocks in companies that are in the news.
Daniel Kahneman
People have little idea, by and large, of the investment world. They are convinced they have an advantage.
Daniel Kahneman
