Doubting what you see is a very odd experience. And doubting what you remember is a little less odd than doubting what you see.

Daniel Kahneman
When you look at the books about well-being, you see one word - it's happiness. People do not distinguish.
Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman
The dominance of conclusions over arguments is most pronounced where emotions are involved.
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
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
There's a tendency to look at investments in isolation. Investors focus on the risk of individual securities.
Daniel Kahneman
It's nonsense to say money doesn't buy happiness, but people exaggerate the extent to which more money can buy more happiness.
Daniel Kahneman
Overconfidence is a powerful source of illusions, primarily determined by the quality and coherence of the story that you can construct, not by its validity.
Daniel Kahneman
Laziness is built deep into our nature.
Daniel Kahneman
All of us roughly know what memory is. I mean, memory is sort of the storage of the past. It's the storage of our personal experiences. It's a very big deal.
Daniel Kahneman
Most of the moments of our life - and I calculated, you know, the psychological present is said to be about three seconds long that means that, you know, in a life there are about 600 million of them in a month, there are about 600,000 - most of them don't leave a trace.
