It's been on my list after watching this great lecture: [VIDEO] I plan to follow it with Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything .
Kahneman's talk at Google summarized the first 2 chapters pretty well: [VIDEO] I strongly recommend it for anyone who doesn't have time to read the book. As for the book itself, I agree with some others' postings here -- it's absolutely fantastic. It changed the way I think about human cognition and education... not to mention machine learning, politics, and marketing.
I believe the bit about priming was refuted in some repro attempts. If you're short on time, watch Kahneman's talk at Google, which basically summarizes the first chapter or so. [VIDEO]
Warning from Daniel Kahneman on "System 1" and "System 2". [1] > I'm going to use "System 1" and "System 2", absolutely as homunculi. [...] They don't exist. [...] Don't look for them in the brain, because they are not two systems in the brain, of which one does one, and the other does the other. So why am I using this terrible language? I'm using it because I think it's helpful. It fits the way our minds work, and to explain the background of that decision--of why I use "System 1" and "System 2"--I refer you to a very good book. [...] It's by Joshua Foer and it's called "Moonwalking with Einstein". [2] [1] [VIDEO] [2] [LINK] The article does put these terms in quotes.
