Re:Re-reading Kahneman's “Thinking, Fast and Slow” by manish_gill on Monday July 04, 2016 @12:24PM (#12031606)
100% agreed. For all the hype around the book, and so many people recommending it as the best book they've read in $duration, I could never quiet stomach so many of Kahneman's "X Study leads to Conclusion Y" in the book.

I still liked the distinguishing characteristics between the "Fast" and "Slow" brains (the 2 systems) that Kahneman uses (Which I think he borrowed from another researcher, whose name skips me). It's a great way to think about how the brain works and you can neatly categorise some things as part of System A and some as System B. But the behavioural science studies leave much to be desired.

Then again, perhaps that is the uncertain nature of behavioural science?
