Noise & Thinking Fast and Slow By Daniel Kahneman 2 Books Collection Set

This two-book collection brings together Noise and Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. Across both titles, Kahneman examines how people make judgements and decisions, and why errors can persist even when individuals and organisations believe they are being rational.

In Noise, written with Olivier Sibony and Cass R. Sunstein, the authors explore how “noise” can lead to mistakes across a wide range of fields, from medicine and law to economic forecasting, forensic science, child protection, creative strategy, performance reviews and hiring. Thinking Fast and Slow looks at the two modes of thought behind our choices: fast, intuitive thinking and slow, rational thinking, and considers how bias and prejudice can affect conclusions.

Synopses

Noise

Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony and Cass R. Sunstein describe how noise can produce errors in many areas, including medicine, law, public health, economic forecasting, forensic science, child protection, creative strategy, performance review and hiring. They argue that noise is often overlooked by individuals and organisations, despite its impact on decisions.

Thinking Fast and Slow

This book examines why people can be more likely to believe information presented in bold type, why judges may be more likely to deny parole before lunch, and why appearance can influence assumptions about competence. It explains the difference between fast, intuitive thinking and slow, rational thinking, and how error and prejudice can affect judgement.
