We have associations to things. We have, you know, we have associations to tables and to - and to dogs and to cats and to Harvard professors, and that's the way the mind works. It's an association machine.
Daniel Kahneman
Intelligence is not only the ability to reason it is also the ability to find relevant material in memory and to deploy attention when needed.
Daniel Kahneman
Establish a closing ritual. Know when to stop working. Try to end each work day the same way, too. Straighten up your desk. Back up your computer. Make a list of what you need to do tomorrow.
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

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 just hate the idea of losing. Any loss, even a small one, is just so terrible to contemplate that they compensate by buying insurance, including totally absurd policies like air travel.
Daniel Kahneman
It's very easy for trusted companies to mislead naive customers, and life insurance companies are trusted.
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
Groups tend to be more extreme than individuals.
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
Adaptation seems to be, to a substantial extent, a process of reallocating your attention.
Daniel Kahneman
People like leaders who look like they are dominant, optimistic, friendly to their friends, and quick on the trigger when it comes to enemies. They like boldness and despise the appearance of timidity and protracted doubt.
Daniel Kahneman
We are far too willing to reject the belief that much of what we see in life is random.
Daniel Kahneman
Most people are highly optimistic most of the time.
Daniel Kahneman
By their very nature, heuristic shortcuts will produce biases, and that is true for both humans and artificial intelligence, but the heuristics of AI are not necessarily the human ones.
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
The illusion that we understand the past fosters overconfidence in our ability to predict the future.
Daniel Kahneman
