More quotes by Daniel Kahneman
I enjoy being active, but I look forward to the day when I can retire to the Internet.
Daniel Kahneman
Friends are sometimes a big help when they share your feelings. In the context of decisions, the friends who will serve you best are those who understand your feelings but are not overly impressed by them.
Daniel Kahneman
Odd as it may seem, I am my remembering self, and the experiencing self, who does my living, is like a stranger to me.
Daniel Kahneman
The effort invested in 'getting it right' should be commensurate with the importance of the decision.
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
The easiest way to increase happiness is to control your use of time.
Daniel Kahneman
Experienced happiness refers to your feelings, to how happy you are as you live your life. In contrast, the satisfaction of the remembering self refers to your feelings when you think about your life.
Daniel Kahneman
We're generally overconfident in our opinions and our impressions and judgments.
Daniel Kahneman
Political columnists and sports pundits are rewarded for being overconfident.
Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman
You should not take your intuitions at face value.
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
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
Negotiations over a shrinking pie are especially difficult because they require an allocation of losses. People tend to be much more easygoing when they bargain over an expanding pie.
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 concept of loss aversion is certainly the most significant contribution of psychology to behavioral economics.
Daniel Kahneman
That's one of the real dangers of leader selection in many organizations: leaders are selected for overconfidence.
Daniel Kahneman
It's clear that policymakers and economists are going to be interested in the measurement of well-being primarily as it correlates with health they also want to know whether researchers can validate subjective responses with physiological indices.
Daniel Kahneman
My interest in well-being evolved from my interest in decision making - from raising the question of whether people know what they will want in the future and whether the things that people want for themselves will make them happy.
Daniel Kahneman
Researchers who studied a thousand Dutch vacationers concluded that by far the greatest amount of happiness extracted from the vacation is derived from the anticipation period.
