Daniel Kahneman
Image
This is the essence of intuitive heuristics: when faced with a difficult question, we often answer an easier one instead, usually without noticing the substitution.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
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

All of us would be better investors if we just made fewer decisions.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
We are very influenced by completely automatic things that we have no control over, and we don't know we're doing it.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
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
Image
In essence, the optimistic style involves taking credit for successes but little blame for failures.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
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.
