More quotes by Daniel Kahneman
It was always assumed I would be a professor. I grew up thinking it.
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
The concept of loss aversion is certainly the most significant contribution of psychology to behavioral economics.
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
The concept of happiness has to be reorganised.
Daniel Kahneman
The effort invested in 'getting it right' should be commensurate with the importance of the decision.
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
In a rising market, enough of your bad ideas will pay off so that you'll never learn that you should have fewer ideas.
Daniel Kahneman
We can be blind to the obvious, and we are also blind to our blindness.
Daniel Kahneman
It doesn't take many observations to think you've spotted a trend, and it's probably not a trend at all.
Daniel Kahneman
I have always emphasized the willingness to discard.
Daniel Kahneman
The most effortful forms of slow thinking are those that require you to think fast.
Daniel Kahneman
A general limitation of the human mind is its imperfect ability to reconstruct past states of knowledge, or beliefs that have changed. Once you adopt a new view of the world (or any part of it), you immediately lose much of your ability to recall what you used to believe before your mind changed.
Daniel Kahneman
I would not advise people to buy a car or house without making a list. You will probably improve your intuitions by making a list and then sleeping on it.
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
There are some conditions where you have to trust your intuition.
Daniel Kahneman
Most people are highly optimistic most of the time.
Daniel Kahneman
Most things that couples disagree upon aren't worth more than a day's combat.
Daniel Kahneman
People are really happier with friends than they are with their families or their spouse or their child.
Daniel Kahneman
Except for some effects that I attribute mostly to age, my intuitive thinking is just as prone to overconfidence, extreme predictions, and the planning fallacy as it was before I made a study of these issues.
Daniel Kahneman
