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

We are far too willing to reject the belief that much of what we see in life is random.

The illusion that we understand the past fosters overconfidence in our ability to predict the future.
Daniel Kahneman

Poverty is clearly one source of emotional suffering, but there are others, like loneliness. A policy to reduce the loneliness of the elderly would certainly reduce suffering.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
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
Image
We're generally overconfident in our opinions and our impressions and judgments.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
Odd as it may seem, I am my remembering self, and the experiencing self, who does my living, is like a stranger to me.
