So, say I'm about 15% into Thinking Fast and Slow, and struggling a little with the pace/density, should I keep going with it?

I'm generally interested in the topic but just got side tracked from the book and haven't picked it up in a couple months.

im in the last section and honestly, looking back at it, i would've been satisfied with just reading the first 2 sections, maybe even the 3rd one. It gets more dense and narrower as you go through it I think.

one thing drivin me crazy is about half the time Kahneman presents a situation and says "you would've chosen this" except that I didn't choose that. Guess I'm a weird outlier or something :P

Oh wow, I had that experience! Thanks for putting my feeling into words.
