I haven't read it, but I snapped up the kindle version for $2.99 last week when a friend tipped me off to the sale.
So...I'll get back to you on it but I'm warning you, I read/think slowly. ;-) I'm faster at making the purchases.

TPG, I have the book but it's taking me longer to read it than it probably took Kahneman to write it. Definitely good stuff though and I'll tackle it again when I clear out some mental space. I find his writing too academic for my taste but, yes, the two systems of thought ring true for me.

I've been considering purchasing this book for some time, but don't really want to rush into anything.

Re: Thinking, Fast and Slow
I have read it and found it pretty good overall. However, some of his examples are fallacious, which leads me to question the validity of his other claims.
