Thinking, Fast and Slow - Daniel Kahneman

*Major New York Times Bestseller*More than 2.6 million copies sold*One of The New York Times Book Review''s ten best books of the year*Selected by The Wall Street Journal as one of the best nonfiction books of the year*Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient*Daniel Kahneman''s work with Amos Tversky is the subject of Michael Lewis''s best-selling The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our MindsIn his mega bestseller, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman, world-famous psychologist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions.Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives—and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Topping bestseller lists for almost ten years, Thinking, Fast and Slow is a contemporary classic, an essential book that has changed the lives of millions of readers.

His book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error, bias and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical) and gives practical techniques that enable us all to improve our decision-making. This profound exploration of the marvels and limitations of the human mind has had a lasting impact on how we see ourselves.''The godfather of behavioural science ... his steely analysis of the human mind and its many flaws remains perhaps the most useful guide to remaining sane and steady'' Sunday Times

Visible Learning and the Science of How We Learn - John Hattie, Gregory C. R. Yates

On publication in 2009 John Hattie’s Visible Learning presented the biggest ever collection of research into what actually work in schools to improve children’s learning. Not what was fashionable, not what political and educational vested interests wanted to champion, but what actually produced the best results in terms of improving learning and educational outcomes. It became an instant bestseller and was described by the TES as revealing education’s ‘holy grail’. Now in this latest book, John Hattie has joined forces with cognitive psychologist Greg Yates to build on the original data and legacy of the Visible Learning project, showing how it’s underlying ideas and the cutting edge of cognitive science can form a powerful and complimentary framework for shaping learning in the classroom and beyond.Visible Learning and the Science of How We Learn explains the major principles and strategies of learning, outlining why it can be so hard sometimes, and yet easy on other occasions. Aimed at teachers and students, it is written in an accessible and engaging style and can be read cover to cover, or used on a chapter-by-chapter basis for essay writing or staff development. The book is structured in three parts – ‘learning within classrooms’, ‘learning foundations’, which explains the cognitive building blocks of knowledge acquisition and ‘know thyself’ which explores, confidence and self-knowledge. It also features extensive interactive appendices containing study guide questions to encourage critical thinking, annotated bibliographic entries with recommendations for further reading, links to relevant websites and YouTube clips. Throughout, the authors draw upon the latest international research into how the learning process works and how to maximise impact on students, covering such topics as:teacher personality;expertise and teacher-student relationships;how knowledge is stored and the impact of cognitive load;thinking fast and thinking slow;the psychology of self-control;the role of conversation at school and at home;invisible gorillas and the IKEA effect;digital native theory;myths and fallacies about how people learn.This fascinating book is aimed at any student, teacher or parent requiring an up-to-date commentary on how research into human learning processes can inform our teaching and what goes on in our schools. It takes a broad sweep through findings stemming mainly from social and cognitive psychology and presents them in a useable format for students and teachers at all levels, from preschool to tertiary training institutes.

Myslenie rýchle a pomalé - Daniel Kahneman

Daniel Kahneman, nositeľ Nobelovej ceny za ekonómiu za pôvodnú prácu v oblasti psychológie, ktorá spochybnila racionálny model úsudku a rozhodovania, patrí medzi najvýznamnejších súčasných mysliteľov. Jeho myšlienky mali hlboký a všeobecne uznávaný vplyv na mnoho oblastí − vrátane ekonómie, medicíny a politiky − ale až teraz svoj dlhoročný výskum a myšlienky zhrnul do jedinej knihy.V nej nás Kahneman oboznamuje s priekopníckou a zároveň prevratnou prehliadkou ľudskej mysle a vysvetľuje dva systémy, ktoré riadia naše myslenie: Systém 1 je rýchly, intuitívny a emocionálny Systém 2 je pomalší, cieľavedomejší a logickejší Kahneman odhaľuje mimoriadne schopnosti, ale aj chyby a skreslenia, rýchleho myslenia a opisuje všadeprítomný vplyv intuitívnych dojmov na naše myšlienky a rozhodnutia. Vplyv averzie voči strate a prehnanej istoty pri podnikových stratégiách, ťažkosti pri predvídaní toho, čo nám v budúcnosti prinesie šťastie, problémy pri správnom rámovaní rizík v práci aj doma, zásadný vplyv kognitívnych skreslení na všetko, od investovania na burze až po plánovanie dovolenky − to všetko môžeme pochopiť, keď sa dozvieme, ako dva systémy formujú naše úsudky a rozhodnutia.Kahneman zapája čitateľa do živej debaty a odhaľuje, v čom môžeme a v čom nemôžeme veriť svojej intuícii a ako môžeme využiť výhody pomalého myslenia. Ponúka praktický a objasňujúci pohľad do rozhodovania v pracovnom aj osobnom živote a tiež rady, ako sa pomocou rôznych techník môžeme chrániť pred duševným zlyhaním, kvôli ktorému sa často dostávame do problémov.

Šum - Daniel Kahneman, Cass R. Sunstein, Olivier Sibony - audiokniha

Audiokniha: „Ti, kdo poznatky z knihy uplatní, budou přijímat humánnější a spravedlivější rozhodnutí, zachrání životy a zabrání tomu, aby čas, peníze a talenty přicházely nazmar.“ — The Washington Post O knize Kdykoli se procesům naší mysli začne věnovat Daniel Kahneman, psycholog a nositel Nobelovy ceny za poznatky o kognitivním zkreslení, nedopadá to pro nás vůbec dobře! Tentokrát zkoumal příčiny vysoké variability profesionálních úsudků – soudců, lékařů, úředníků, učitelů a dalších – tam, kde by měly být shodné. A objevil šum, tedy vliv nepředvídatelných náhodných chyb, který je ve svém důsledku stejně závažný jako dopad biasů. Jen se hůř měří a je obtížnější si ho uvědomit, takže ho radikálně podceňujeme. Kahneman a jeho kolegové analyzovali stovky studií týkajících se rozhodování a ve svém společném díle vás přesvědčí o překvapivé míře lidské omylnosti. Dokonce i model nás samých činí přesnější úsudky než my! Nevytýkejme si to – vyplývá to už z přirozenosti kauzálního myšlení a složitosti světa. Ignorovat protiopatření by ale byla velká chyba. V knize vám hvězdný tým autorů vysvětlí příčiny šumu a jeho kategorie, naučí vás odlišovat šum od zkreslení a měřit jeho vliv. A především vám poradí, jak s těmito zjištěními naložit v praxi. Pro lepší, spravedlivější, méně zašuměný svět. V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte - Kdekoli existuje úsudek, tam existuje i šum, a to ve větším rozsahu, než byste čekali. - Šum uvidíme pouze tehdy, když se na svět podíváme statistickým pohledem. - Jak nálada, stres a únava ovlivňují situační šum, tedy variabilitu vašeho intrapersonálního rozhodování. - Že i malý sociální vliv dokáže podkopat jindy funkční „moudrost davu“. - Jak zohlednit mámení „údolí normálnosti“ a lákavost emoční odměny. - Co je střední kvadratická chyba a proč ji počítat s mocninami chyb. - Jak provést audit šumu a zlepšit si úsudek pomocí šesti pravidel rozhodovací hygieny. O autorech Daniel Kahneman je emeritním profesorem psychologie a veřejných záležitostí na Princetonské univerzitě. V roce 2002 obdržel Nobelovu cenu za ekonomii a v roce 2013 Prezidentskou medaili svobody. Je autorem světového bestselleru Myšlení, rychlé a pomalé. Olivier Sibony působí jako profesor strategií na mezinároční obchodní škole HEC v Paříži a lektor na Said Business School Oxfordské univerzity. Napsal knihu Chystáte se udělat strašnou chybu! Cass R.

Šum Chyba v ľudskom úsudku - Daniel Kahneman, Cass R. Sunstein, Olivier Sibony

VŠADE, KDE JE ĽUDSKÝ ÚSUDOK, NÁJDEME AJ ŠUM Predstavte si, že dvaja lekári v tom istom meste určujú rozdielne diagnózy rovnakým -pacientom, alebo že dvaja sudcovia na tom istom súde vymeriavajú rôzne tresty páchateľom za rovnaké zločiny. A teraz si predstavte, že ten istý lekár a ten istý sudca prijímajú rôzne rozhodnutia podľa toho, či je ráno alebo popoludnie, či je pondelok alebo streda, alebo či ešte neobedovali. To sú príklady šumu: variabilita v úsudkoch, ktoré by mali byť rovnaké. Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony a Cass R. Sunstein v tejto knihe ukazujú, ako šum spôsobuje chyby v mnohých oblastiach vrátane medicíny, práva, verejného zdravia, ekonomických ¬prognóz, forenzných vied, ochrany detí, kreatívnej stratégie, hodnotenia výkonnosti a prijímania zamestnancov. Hoci sa šum vyskytuje všade, kde sa ľudia rozhodujú a robia úsudky, ¬jednotlivci aj organizácie bežne ignorujú jeho vplyv, a tak zbytočne prichádzajú o značné ¬prostriedky. Kniha Šum je plná nových myšlienok a vychádza z podrobných analýz a -rozsiahlych prípadových štúdií, vďaka ktorým sa knihy Myslenie rýchle a pomalé a Nudge stali ¬medzinárodnými bestsellermi.

The Sunday Times bestseller'A monumental, gripping book ... Outstanding' Sunday TimesWherever there is human judgement, there is noise.'Noise may be the most important book I've read in more than a decade. A genuinely new idea so exceedingly important you will immediately put it into practice.A masterpiece'Angela Duckworth, author of Grit'An absolutely brilliant investigation of a massive societal problem that has been hiding in plain sight'Steven Levitt, co-author of FreakonomicsFrom the world-leaders in strategic thinking and the multi-million copy bestselling authors of Thinking Fast and Slow and Nudge, the next big book to change the way you think. Imagine that two doctors in the same city give different diagnoses to identical patients - or that two judges in the same court give different sentences to people who have committed matching crimes. Now imagine that the same doctor and the same judge make different decisions depending on whether it is morning or afternoon, or Monday rather than Wednesday, or they haven't yet had lunch.These are examples of noise: variability in judgements that should be identical.In Noise, Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony and Cass R. Sunstein show how noise produces errors in many fields, including in medicine, law, public health, economic forecasting, forensic science, child protection, creative strategy, performance review and hiring. And although noise can be found wherever people are making judgements and decisions, individuals and organizations alike commonly ignore its impact, at great cost.Packed with new ideas, and drawing on the same kind of sharp analysis and breadth of case study that made Thinking, Fast and Slow and Nudge international bestsellers, Noise explains how and why humans are so susceptible to noise and bias in decision-making.We all make bad judgements more than we think. With a few simple remedies, this groundbreaking book explores what we can do to make better ones.

Myšlení, rychlé a pomalé - Daniel Kahneman

Myšlení, rychlé a pomalé je převratná a čtivě napsaná kniha jednoho z nejvýznamnějších myslitelů současnosti, psychologa a nositele Nobelovy ceny za ekonomii Daniela Kahnemana. Autor v ní shrnuje desítky let svých výzkumů a zásadně mění pohled na to, jak přemýšlíme, rozhodujeme se a jak chápeme svět kolem sebe. Učí nás rozpoznávat chyby a zkratky naší mysli a vyhýbat se pastem mentálních omylů.Opravdu se rozhodujete racionálně? Kahneman poutavě vysvětluje, že naše rozhodování ovládají dva systémy: Systém 1 – rychlý, intuitivní a emocionální, Systém 2 – pomalý, promyšlený a logický. Kniha nás provází situacemi, kdy je možné důvěřovat intuici a kdy je naopak nezbytné spoléhat na pomalé, racionální myšlení. Nabízí praktické poznatky využitelné v osobním i pracovním životě a ukazuje, jak se vyvarovat nejčastějších chyb v úsudku. Jak říká sám autor: „Ano, život lze žít inteligentněji a zdá se, že je tento způsob života lepší.“Ocenění: Nejlepší ekonomická kniha roku 2012 podle Hospodářských novin, Jedna z „10 knih, které byste neměli minout“ podle časopisu Respekt, Nejlepší kniha roku 2011 podle The New York Times, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal a Los Angeles Times. V knize se dozvíte: Rozdíl mezi dvěma systémy myšlení – jak Systém 1 prostřednictvím asociativní paměti vytváří logické interpretace reality a jak fungují nevědomé procesy tvořící základ intuice. Proč je obtížné myslet statisticky – ukázky, jak často uvažujeme asociativně, kauzálně a metaforicky, a proč se statistické myšlení našemu mozku přirozeně vzpírá. Omezení naší mysli – sklony k přeceňování vlastních znalostí a podceňování role náhody a nejistoty. Rozhodování v ekonomii – vysvětlení prospektové teorie a příklady voleb, které se odchylují od principů racionality. Dvě „já“ v nás – rozdíl mezi prožívajícím já a pamatujícím já, jejich odlišné zájmy a vliv na naše vnímání štěstí a spokojenosti. Kniha je určena všem, kteří chtějí lépe porozumět sobě, druhým i světu kolem sebe.

Daniel Brush: Thinking about Monet

Sculptures-as-meditations: Brush rearticulates Monet’s magnificent lightwork in palm-sized objectsEarly in life, American painter, sculptor and jeweler Daniel Brush (born 1947) discounted Monet’s work wholesale—that is, until the pivotal day he saw an 8-by-10 transparency that a collector and friend was considering acquiring. This encounter sparked an obsession with the light Monet so masterfully captured through oil paint. Thinking about Monet contains 60 of the more than 100 steel sculptures Brush created—all of which are meditations on light. The artist hand-carved the same steel for all of his palm-sized pieces, but each one articulates distinct properties of color and light. Mesmerizing in the intricacy and daring of their fabrication, Brush''s objects bear comparison with the work of historical masters.This small, jewel-like book is covered in printed silk cloth, and all the sculptures are reproduced at their original size. Nicolas Bos, president of Van Cleef & Arpels, contributes a short foreword to the book.

The Tao Of Health, Sex And Longevity - Daniel Reid

People are increasingly looking to alternatives to Western medicine and here is a practical self-help guide to a balanced and positive lifestyle. Tao, the most ancient and fundamental element in the world''s oldest civilisation, is as relevant to today''s world as to classical China. For the contemporary reader, this accessible book is the first to explore, in the light of the findings of modern Western science, the balanced and holistic system of health care used by Chinese physicians, martial artists and meditators for over 5,000 years. Exploring the ancient teachings of characters such as The Yellow Emperor and The Plain Girl, Daniel Reid lights the path to sexual fulfilment. The instructions of the Way of Yin and Yang ''serve as signposts along the winding road to a woman''s orgasm, and'' - says the author - ''every man should learn to read them.'' In The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity, Daniel Reid has combined his personal experience with original research and in an accessible, informed and often anecdotal style he presents the issues and answers of practical concern to a Western audience. The book covers every aspect of health with concise information on diet and nutrition, fasting, breathing and exercise, medicine, meditation and sexual yoga.

Free and Equal - Daniel Chandler

What would you want that society to look like? This is the revolutionary thought experiment proposed by the twentieth century's greatest political philosopher, John Rawls. As economist and philosopher Daniel Chandler argues in this hugely ambitious and exhilarating intervention, it is by rediscovering Rawls that we can find a way out of the escalating crises that are devastating our world today. Taking Rawls's humane and egalitarian liberalism as his starting point, Chandler builds a careful and ultimately irresistible case for a progressive agenda that would fundamentally reshape our societies for the better. He shows how we can protect free speech and transcend the culture wars; get money out of politics; and create an economy where everyone has the chance to fulfil their potential, where prosperity is widely shared, and which operates within the limits of our finite planet. This is a book brimming with hope and possibility - a galvanising alternative to the cynicism that pervades our politics. Free and Equal has the potential not only to transform contemporary debate, but to offer a touchstone for a modern, egalitarian liberalism for many years to come, cementing Rawls's place in political discourse, and firmly establishing Chandler as a vital new voice for our time.

Alfred, a decorated hero from the Great War, is now widely acknowledged to have been the first person to recognise the existential danger Hitler posed to the Jews and began, in 1933, to catalogue in detail Nazi crimes. After moving his family to Amsterdam, he relocated his library to London and was preparing to bring over his wife and children when Germany invaded the Netherlands.

Lost Banff and Buchan - Daniel MacCannell

The region north of Aberdeen and east of Moray is difficult to define. Neither highland or lowland, depopulated or populous, it is a land of surprising contrasts.In this book Daniel MacCannell uncovers many aspects of lost Banff and Buchan. In addition to buildings, transport networks, industries, and ways of life which now no longer exist, from whaling to open-air market trading, he also considers other elements which have been forgotten over time. There are lost people - those whose lives have been of enormous significance but are now forgotten - such as the member of the Barclay family who became a Russian field marshal and architect of the ''scorched earth'' strategy used against Napoleon in 1812, and the pilots of the Banff Strike Wing who fought valiantly against the German Navy during World War II. There is also the lost University of Fraserburgh, founded in 1595 but defunct by 1605; the village of Burnhaven, destroyed to make room for Peterhead Prison; and a lost literary master - the Turriff man who wrote Argenis, arguably the first novel ever written by a British person.The book also offers a new take on the history of smuggling in the area - of whisky from Cabrach down North Donside to Aberdeen, as well as of brandy and a surprisingly wide range of other commodities. The result is a compelling and imaginative journey into the past, packed with anecdote, fact and fascinating characters.

Rebels and Patriots - Daniel Mersey, Michael Leck

From the first shots at Jumonville Glen to the surrender at Appomattox, Rebels and Patriots allows you to campaign with Wolfe or Montcalm, stand with Tarleton at Cowpens or Washington at Yorktown, or don the blue or grey to fight for Grant or Lee. From the French and Indian War, through the War of Independence and the War of 1812, to the Alamo and the American Civil War, these rules focus on the skirmishes, raids, and small engagements from this era of black powder and bayonet. Your Company is commanded by your Officer during these tumultuous conflicts. Each battle that your Officer faces allows him to develop new and interesting traits. Does he perform heroically and earn a nom de guerre? Or falter, to be forever known as a yellow-belly? Designed by Michael Leck and Daniel Mersey, with a core system based on the popular Lion Rampant rules, Rebels and Patriots provides all the mechanics and force options needed to recreate the conflicts that forged a nation.

Germany and Israel - Daniel Marwecki

A radical reinterpretation of the relationship between two states whose history has always been intertwined, particularly revisiting Germany’s involvement in the Palestinian question. According to common perception, the Federal Republic of Germany supported the formation of the Israeli state for moral reasons--to atone for its Nazi past--but did not play a significant role in the Arab--Israeli conflict. However, the historical record does not sustain this narrative. Daniel Marwecki''s pathbreaking analysis deconstructs the myths surrounding the odd alliance between Israel and post-war democratic Germany. Thorough archival research shows how German policymakers often had disingenuous, cynical or even partly antisemitic motivations, seeking to whitewash their Nazi past by supporting the new Israeli state. This is the true context of West Germany''s crucial backing of Israel in the 1950s and ''60s. German economic and military support greatly contributed to Israel''s early consolidation and eventual regional hegemony. This initial alliance has affected Germany''s role in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict to the present day. Marwecki reassesses German foreign policymaking and identity-shaping, and raises difficult questions about German responsibility after the Holocaust, exploring the many ways in which the genocide of European Jews and the dispossession of the Palestinians have become tragically intertwined in the Middle East''s international politics. This long overdue investigation sheds new light on a major episode in the history of the modern Middle East.

From Bacteria to Bach and Back - Daniel C. Dennett

'Required reading for anyone remotely curious about how they came to be remotely curious' Observer'Enthralling' Spectator What is human consciousness and how is it possible? These questions fascinate thinking people from poets and painters to physicists, psychologists, and philosophers. This is Daniel C. Dennett's brilliant answer, extending perspectives from his earlier work in surprising directions, exploring the deep interactions of evolution, brains and human culture. Part philosophical whodunnit, part bold scientific conjecture, this landmark work enlarges themes that have sustained Dennett's career at the forefront of philosophical thought. In his inimitable style, laced with wit and thought experiments, Dennett shows how culture enables reflection by installing a profusion of thinking tools, or memes, in our brains, and how language turbocharges this process. The result: a mind that can comprehend the questions it poses, has emerged from a process of cultural evolution. An agenda-setting book for a new generation of philosophers and thinkers, From Bacteria to Bach and Back is essential for anyone who hopes to understand human creativity in all its applications.

Systems Thinking For Social Change - David Peter Stroh

"David Stroh has produced an elegant and cogent guide to what works. Research with early learners is showing that children are natural systems thinkers. This book will help to resuscitate these intuitive capabilities and strengthen them in the fire of facing our toughest problems."—Peter Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline Concrete guidance on how to incorporate systems thinking in problem solving, decision making, and strategic planning—for everyone!Donors, leaders of nonprofits, and public policy makers usually have the best of intentions to serve society and improve social conditions. But often their solutions fall far short of what they want to accomplish and what is truly needed. Moreover, the answers they propose and fund often produce the opposite of what they want over time. We end up with temporary shelters that increase homelessness, drug busts that increase drug-related crime, or food aid that increases starvation.How do these unintended consequences come about and how can we avoid them? By applying conventional thinking to complex social problems, we often perpetuate the very problems we try so hard to solve, but it is possible to think differently, and get different results.Systems Thinking for Social Change enables readers to contribute more effectively to society by helping them understand what systems thinking is and why it is so important in their work. It also gives concrete guidance on how to incorporate systems thinking in problem solving, decision making, and strategic planning without becoming a technical expert.Systems thinking leader David Stroh walks readers through techniques he has used to help people improve their efforts on complex problems like:ending homelessnessimproving public healthstrengthening educationdesigning a system for early childhood developmentprotecting child welfaredeveloping rural economiesfacilitating the reentry of formerly incarcerated people into societyresolving identity-based conflictsand more!  The result is a highly readable, effective guide to understanding systems and using that knowledge to get the results you want.

The environmental crisis will not be solved by battery technology. We are looking for answers in the wrong places.Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production.In this fascinating and illuminating book, Peter Forbes shines a light on this crucial technology and offers a tantalising glimpse at what is possible. To solve the big problems, sometimes you have to think small.
