Book Quote from Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
Experts who acknowledge the full extent of their ignorance may expect to be replaced by more confident competitors, who are better able to gain the trust of clients. An unbiased appreciation of uncertainty is a cornerstone of rationality—but it is not what people and organizations want.

Book Quote from Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

Book Quote from Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

Book Quote from Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

Book Quote from Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
Confidence is a feeling, which reflects the coherence of the information and the cognitive ease of processing it. It is wise to take admissions of uncertainty seriously, but declarations of high confidence mainly tell you that an individual has constructed a coherent story in his mind, not necessarily that the story is true.

Book Quote from Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
Mood evidently affects the operation of System 1: when we are uncomfortable and unhappy, we lose touch with our intuition. These findings add to the growing evidence that good mood, intuition, creativity, gullibility, and increased reliance on System 1 form a cluster. At the other pole, sadness, vigilance, suspicion, an analytic approach, and increased effort also go together. A happy mood loosens the control of System 2 over performance: when in a good mood, people become more intuitive and more creative but also less vigilant and more prone to logical errors.

Book Quote from Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
A reliable way of making people believe in falsehoods is frequent repetition, because familiarity is not easily distinguished from truth.

Book Quote from Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
I have always believed that scientific research is another domain where a form of optimism is essential to success: I have yet to meet a successful scientist who lacks the ability to exaggerate the importance of what he or she is doing, and I believe that someone who lacks a delusional sense of significance will wilt in the face of repeated experiences of multiple small failures and rare successes, the fate of most researchers.

The confidence that individuals have in their beliefs depends mostly on the quality of the story they can tell about what they see, even if they see little.

Book Quote from Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events.

Book Quote from Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
