Czy ludzie są świadomymi i autonomicznymi autorami własnych wybor�w i osąd�w?
Czy mogą ufać własnemu myśleniu, zwłaszcza temu szybkiemu - intuicyjnemu i
emocjonalnemu? Rozważniej jest na pewno zdać się na myślenie wolne,
analityczne. A mimo to trudno uniknąć pułapek myślenia. Przytrafia się to
nawet ekonomistom i nie sprzyja trafnym decyzjom... W tej odkrywczej książce
Daniel Kahneman, psycholog, kt�ry otrzymał Nagrodę Nobla w dziedzinie
ekonomii, daje naprawdę istotny wgląd w mechanizmy ludzkiego myślenia.
Judgment pervades human experience. Do I have a strong enough case to go to trial? Will the Fed change interest rates? Can I trust this person? This book examines how people answer such questions. How do people cope with the complexities of the world economy, the uncertain behavior of friends and adversaries, or their own changing tastes and personalities? When are people's judgments prone to bias, and what is responsible for their biases? This book compiles psychologists' best attempts to answer these important questions.
The contemporary rabbi is influenced by the modern rabbinic establishments throughout the world, including the rabbinate in Israel. The rabbinate's monopoly on opinions and interpretations prevents rabbis from expressing their individual positions out of fear of delegitimization. The current structure gives the public a negative impression of the rabbinic establishment. The Importance of the Community Rabbi strives to describe and delineate key requirements for a good rabbi, i.e., one who can provide socially acceptable halachic solutions within the parameters of Orthodox thinking. Rabbi Sperber elucidates the halachic techniques and mechanisms that may be used toward this goal. These are further illustrated with stories from rabbinic literature and examples from various responsa.
With Instaread Summaries, you can get the summary of a book in 30 minutes or less. We read every chapter, summarize and analyze it for your convenience. This is an Instaread Summary of Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. Below is a preview of the earlier sections of the summary:
In this book, Daniel Kahneman aims to identify and understand errors of judgment and choice, providing a richer vocabulary to discuss these issues. Collaborating with Amos Tversky, they researched intuitive statistics and realized their own intuitions were flawed. Their subjective judgments were biased, leading them to accept research findings based on insufficient evidence and to gather too few observations in their studies. They sought to determine if other researchers faced similar challenges. Their findings revealed that participants often ignored relevant statistical facts, relying instead on resemblance as a heuristic to simplify complex judgments. This reliance led to predictable biases in their predictions. They discovered that people assess the importance of issues based on how easily they can recall them, largely influenced by media coverage. Kahneman offers insights into how the mind operates, highlighting the distinctions between fast (intuitive) and slow (deliberate) thinking. He emphasizes a common limitation: an excessive confidence in what individuals believe they know.
Choices, Values, and Frames presents an empirical and theoretical challenge to classical utility theory, offering prospect theory as an alternative framework. Extensions and applications to diverse economic phenomena and to studies of consumer behavior are discussed. The book also elaborates on framing effects and other demonstrations that preferences are constructed in context, and it develops new approaches to the standard view of choice-based utility. As with the classic 1982 volume, Judgment Under Uncertainty, this volume is comprised of papers published in diverse academic journals. The editors have written several new chapters and a preface to provide a context for the work.
From the multi-million copy bestselling author of Thinking Fast and Slow Daniel Kahneman, the co-author of the million-copy bestseller Nudge Cass Sunstein, and the eminent professor and writer on strategic thinking Olivier Sibony, a new book about how to make better decisions. We make thousands of decisions every day, from minute choices we don't even know we're making up to great, agonising deliberations. But when every decision we make is life-changing, the way we reach them matters. And for every decision, there is noise. This book teaches us how to understand all the extraneous factors that impact and bias our decision-making - and how to combat them and improve our thinking. Filled with new science, fascinating case studies and revealing practical examples, the skills this book teaches can be readily used by private or public institutions, by schools, hospitals, businesses, judges and in our everyday lives.

Mental illness is a significant source of suffering, affecting at least 20 percent of individuals in developed countries. It reduces life expectancy comparably to smoking, accounts for nearly half of all disability claims, contributes to worker absenteeism, and impacts educational and income levels. Despite the availability of effective treatments, many individuals remain untreated or inadequately treated. Layard and Clark advocate for innovative policy changes in addressing mental health issues and explore viable solutions to alleviate the associated miseries and injustices.
They highlight that modern psychological therapies can be highly effective, potentially transforming the lives of millions at minimal or no cost. Treating mental health issues not only improves individual well-being but also leads to significant savings in physical healthcare and boosts economic productivity through increased workforce participation. The authors outline successful psychological treatments and discuss their effectiveness for different populations. They emphasize the importance of prevention through improved educational systems and societal structures.
By illustrating the urgent need to address mental illness, the authors present new options and possibilities for tackling one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
Aký rozdiel je medzi prirodzeným (intuitívnym) a formálno-logickým usudzovaním? Sú všetky logické chyby zlé? Aké postupy (heuristiky) používa intuitívne usudzovanie? Prečo sú hybnou silou rozvoja intelektu sociálne vzťahy? Aké komunikačné riziká sú spojené s informáciami získanými prostredníctvom svedectva? Na základe čoho vieme odhadnúť, čo sa deje v mysli iného? Prečo sa etnické klasifikácie zásadne líšia od iných sociálnych klasifikácií, napríklad profesijných či športových? Práve na tieto otázky hľadajú odpovede autori knihy Sociálna inteligencia. Prvú časť knihy tvoria preklady prác renomovaných zahraničných autorov (D. Kahneman, G. Gigerenzer, N. Humphrey a D. Sperber). Druhá časť knihy obsahuje príspevky domácich autorov (J. Bašnáková, M. Filko, M. Kanovský, V. Kvasnička, E. Pauková, J. Pospíchal a J. Rybár). Sme presvedčení, že kniha môže pomôcť vedeckým pracovníkom a študentom počítačovej vedy, psychológie, antropológie, ekonómie a ďalších prírodných a sociálnych vied zorientovať sa v danej oblasti. Dúfame, že poslúži aj všetkým, ktorí sa chcú bližšie oboznámiť so súvislosťami medzi intuitívnym usudzovaním a sociálnou inteligenciou.

"We need books like this one." --Steven Pinker At last, stupidity explained! And by some of the world's smartest people, among them Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Alison Gopnik, Howard Gardner, Antonio Damasio, Aaron James, and Ryan Holiday. And so I proclaim, o idiots of every stripe and morons of all kinds, this is your moment of glory: this book speaks only to you. But you will not recognize yourselves... Stupidity is all around us, from the coworker who won't stop hitting "reply all" to the former high school classmate posting conspiracy theories on Facebook. But in order to vanquish it, we must first understand it. In The Psychology of Stupidity, some of the world's leading psychologists and thinkers--including a Nobel Prize winner and bestselling authors--will show you... why smart people sometimes believe in utter nonsense; how our lazy brains cause us to make the wrong decisions; why trying to debate fools is a trap; how media manipulation and Internet overstimulation make us dumber; why the stupidest people don't think they're stupid. The wisdom and wit of these experts are a balm for our aggrieved souls and a beacon of hope in a world of morons.
