Review of 'Thinking, fast and slow' on 'Goodreads'

I was fortunate to be given this book, as I've unknowningly been really interested in many of the ideas and principles that turn out to have been indebted to Kahneman's work. This is a long read, but I found it consistently interesting, though at times I felt like there were some missed opportunities to more clearly outline and draw out principles from each chapter. I've bookmarked a number of passages and intend to reread some again to better internalize some of the lessons. Kahneman's skepticism and caution about human rationality is healthy and much needed, especially in the educator sector in which I work.
