Odd as it may seem, I am my remembering self, and the experiencing self, who does my living, is like a stranger to me.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

The brain scientists are the ...

The brain scientists are the wave of the future in the financial world. If you seek to maximize understanding, whether you're in academia or in the investment community, you'd better pay serious attention to them.

Laziness is built deep into our nature.

The illusion of skill is not ...

The illusion of skill is not only an individual aberration; it is deeply ingrained in the culture of the [investment management] industry.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

Acquisition of skills require...

Acquisition of skills requires a regular environment, an adequate opportunity to practice, and rapid and unequivocal feedback about the correctness of thoughts and actions.

The most effortful forms of slow thinking are those that require you to think fast.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

When people think of the outc...

When people think of the outcomes of their decisions, they think much more short term than that. They think in terms of gains and losses.

Groups tend to be more extreme than individuals.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

Some memories come with a ver...

Some memories come with a very compelling sense of truth about them. And that happens to be the case even with memories that are not true.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

We were required to predict a...

We were required to predict a soldier's performance in officer training and in combat, but we did so by evaluating his behavior over one hour in an artificial situation. This was a perfect instance of a general rule that I call WYSIATI, "What you see is all there is." We had made up a story from the little we knew but had no way to allow for what we did not know about the individual's future, which was almost everything that would actually matter. When you know as little as we did, you should not make extreme predictions like "He will be a star."

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

You should expect little or n...

You should expect little or nothing from Wall Street stock pickers who hope to be more accurate than the market in predicting the future of prices. And you should not expect much from pundits making long-term forecasts.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

Doubts are suppressed by groups... But remember that the internal incentives that shape how the group perceives risks and rewards may be very different from the reality of the risks and rewards in the external marketplace. Those incentives can distort risk perception.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

Many people will admit that t...

Many people will admit that they made a mistake [putting money in dot-coms or telecoms at their peak] But that doesn’t mean that they’ve changed their mind about anything in particular. It doesn’t mean that they are now able to avoid that mistake.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

We associate leadership with ...

We associate leadership with decisiveness. That perception of leadership pushes people to make decisions fairly quickly, lest they be seen as dithering and indecisive.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

If you can't take the time fo...

If you can't take the time for a vacation right now, or even a night out with friends, put something on the calendar - even if it's a month or a year down the road. Then whenever you need a boost of happiness, remind yourself about it.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

One thing we have lost, that ...

One thing we have lost, that we had in the past, is a sense of progress, that things are getting better. There is a sense of volatility, but not of progress.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

Most of the time, we think fa...

Most of the time, we think fast. And most of the time we're really expert at what we're doing, and most of the time, what we do is right.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

True intuitive expertise is l...

True intuitive expertise is learned from prolonged experience with good feedback on mistakes.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

Optimism is normal, but some ...

Optimism is normal, but some fortunate people are more optimistic than the rest of us. If you are genetically endowed with an optimistic bias, you hardly need to be told that you are a lucky person - you already feel fortunate.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

We think, each of us, that we...

We think, each of us, that we're much more rational than we are. And we think that we make our decisions because we have good reasons to make them. Even when it's the other way around. We believe in the reasons, because we've already made the decision.
