Description

This influential book explores the psychology of human decision-making, revealing how our brains make predictable errors when faced with uncertainty or complexity. First published in 1974, the groundbreaking work of Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman has had a profound impact on the study of human rationality and the development of behavioral economics.

The authors' concise and clear definitions of the heuristics and biases discovered in this paper remain a model of good interpretation, underpinning incisive critical thinking to this day. This book provides a foundation for new work in the field, offering insights into the mental shortcuts and assumptions that shape our judgments.
