Book page: kahneman-thinking-fast-and-slow
From: Quotes batch 10
Edition: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (2011)
On Cognition (System 1 & 2)
“System 1 is the effortless one… System 2 is the one that believes it is making the decisions, but it is often just the endorsing officer for System 1.” (p. 24)
On Decision Making (Loss Aversion)
“The response to losses is stronger than the response to corresponding gains. This is the core of prospect theory.” (p. 282)
On Critical Thinking
“The easiest way to increase the likelihood that a statement will be believed is frequent repetition, for familiarity is not easily distinguished from truth.” (p. 62)
