Thinking Fast and Slow

This book is telling me something I already knew - people do not like slow thinking, and will do almost anything to avoid it, and revert to fast thinking instead.

Most of the book is about this - the many ways we do not think, but remain firmly convinced that we are - and not only that, but thinking perfectly. 

This has been known for a very long time, but he makes it explicit - by describing all the ways this happens, in some detail. 

The condensed version I have, that I got for free, also has something else - text to speech, that works almost perfectly. You can read or listen, either way. 

I find looking at the text, while it is being spoken, helps me to learn better.
