Thinking, Fast and Slow

Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow is amusing and intriguing at the same time. Amusing, because human behaviour can be moulded through slightest of changes in one's surroundings, as per the incidents narrated in the book and intriguing because you will find it hard to believe that the aspects of one's behaviour that one takes for granted could have some explanation based on scientific reasoning. It is not something random but something that can be observed repeatedly for a varied set of people. A lot of disciplines have data oriented research but this book is simply extraordinary in terms of the author's approach to explaining different behavioural aspects of one's personality. It may get you hooked to Behavioural Economics and you would want to explore more. Truly Exceptional :)
No wonder he got a Nobel Prize!
