So your emotional state really has a lot to do with what you're thinking about and what you're paying attention to.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

We have associations to thing...

We have associations to things. We have, you know, we have associations to tables and to - and to dogs and to cats and to Harvard professors, and that's the way the mind works. It's an association machine.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

There are domains in which expertise is not possible. Stock picking is a good example. And in long-term political strategic forecasting, it's been shown that experts are just not better than a dice-throwing monkey.

When you analyze happiness, it turns out that the way you spend your time is extremely important.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

People just hate the idea of ...

People just hate the idea of losing. Any loss, even a small one, is just so terrible to contemplate that they compensate by buying insurance, including totally absurd policies like air travel.

By their very nature, heuristic shortcuts will produce biases, and that is true for both humans and artificial intelligence, but the heuristics of AI are not necessarily the human ones.

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.

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

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

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

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

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

If people do not know what is...

If people do not know what is going to make them better off or give them pleasure, then the idea that you can trust people to do what will give them pleasure becomes questionable.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

For many people, commuting is the worst part of the day, and policies that can make commuting shorter and more convenient would be a straightforward way to reduce minor but widespread suffering.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

We don't only tell stories when we set out to tell stories, our memory tells us stories. That is, what we get to keep from our experiences is a story.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

Happiness is determined by fa...

Happiness is determined by factors like your health, your family relationships and friendships, and above all by feeling that you are in control of how you spend your time.

It's very difficult to distinguish between what a person believes and what they say they believe.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

The planning fallacy is that ...

The planning fallacy is that you make a plan, which is usually a best-case scenario. Then you assume that the outcome will follow your plan, even when you should know better.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

Experienced happiness refers ...

Experienced happiness refers to your feelings, to how happy you are as you live your life. In contrast, the satisfaction of the remembering self refers to your feelings when you think about your life.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

Doubting what you see is a ve...

Doubting what you see is a very odd experience. And doubting what you remember is a little less odd than doubting what you see. But it's also a pretty odd experience, because some memories come with a very compelling sense of truth about them, and that happens to be the case even for memories that are not true.

Daniel Kahneman 191 quotes

Negotiations over a shrinking pie are especially difficult because they require an allocation of losses. People tend to be much more easygoing when they bargain over an expanding pie.
