More quotes by Daniel Kahneman
We're generally overconfident in our opinions and our impressions and judgments.
Daniel Kahneman
A large portion of the weekend effects is explained by differences in the amount of time spent with friends or family between weekends and weekdays.
Daniel Kahneman
The easiest way to increase happiness is to control your use of time.
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
It is only a slight exaggeration to say that happiness is the experience of spending time with people you love and who love you.
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
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
It doesn't take many observations to think you've spotted a trend, and it's probably not a trend at all.
Daniel Kahneman
Doubting what you see is a very odd experience. And doubting what you remember is a little less odd than doubting what you see. But it's also a pretty odd experience, because some memories come with a very compelling sense of truth about them, and that happens to be the case even for memories that are not true.
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
There are domains in which expertise is not possible. Stock picking is a good example. And in long-term political strategic forecasting, it's been shown that experts are just not better than a dice-throwing monkey.
Daniel Kahneman
Groups tend to be more extreme than individuals.
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
Political columnists and sports pundits are rewarded for being overconfident.
Daniel Kahneman
The effort invested in 'getting it right' should be commensurate with the importance of the decision.
Daniel Kahneman
A person who has not made peace with his losses is likely to accept gambles that would be unacceptable to him otherwise.
Daniel Kahneman
True intuitive expertise is learned from prolonged experience with good feedback on mistakes.
Daniel Kahneman
The concept of loss aversion is certainly the most significant contribution of psychology to behavioral economics.
Daniel Kahneman
Often, the most enjoyable part of an activity is the anticipation.
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
