Our concept of pure wilderness untouched by grubby human hands must now be jettisoned." -The New York Sun "Monumental. Mann has chronicled an important shift in our vision of world development, one out young children could end up studying in their text books when they reach junior high." -San Francisco Chronicle "Marvelous. A revelation. Part detective story, part epic and part tragedy." -The Miami Herald "Provocative. A Jared Diamond-like volley that challenges prevailing thinking about global development. 1491 vividly compels us to re-examine how we teach the ancient history of the Americas and how we live with the environmental consequences of colonization." -The Washington Post Book World "Engagingly written and utterly absorbing. It replaces that fallacy with evidence of a different genesis, exciting and closer to true." -The Cleveland Plain Dealer "Mann tells a powerful, provocative and important story. 1491 erases our myth of a wilderness Eden. A landmark of a book that drops ingrained images of colonial American into the dustbin, one after the other." -The Boston Globe "A ripping, man-on-the-ground tour of a world most of us barely intuit. A remarkably engaging writer." -The New York Times Book Review "Fascinating. A sweeping portrait of human life in the Americas before the arrival of Columbus. "A journalistic masterpiece." -The New York Review of Books "Marvelous. This updated The Case for Faith Student Edition adapts Strobel's bestselling The Case for Faith to present hard-hitting findings as well as interviews with believers and skeptics alike in an easy-to-follow manner so you can make a decision about Christian faith for yourself. Why is there suffering? Doesn't science disprove miracles? What about hell-and the millions who've never heard of Jesus? Is heaven for real? Is God unjust? Lee Strobel decided to use his award-winning journalistic skills to investigate the idea of faith, and prove that placing our trust in things we cannot see is a solid bet. The novel begins with a “prelogue” in which Emmie tells us that she has turned into a puddle of slime, and that she will explain how this happened and why. All of the action is told in colorful panels that feature captions, thought-bubbles, and dialogue-bubbles. Katie’s sections resemble a traditional comic book. Emmie’s sections resemble a traditional novel with lots of white space and black words, interspersed with small sketches that add to the narrative. The novel seems to rotate its point of view between quiet and timid Emmie and the perfect and beautiful Katie, but in the end we learn that Katie is a fictional cartoon character created by Emmie, who draws comics in her notebook in order to help her deal with the pressures and stresses of being a girl in middle school. Invisible Emmie is a graphic novel that is told in the first person by the main character, Emmie. The following version of this book was used to create the guide: Libenson, Terri. The adaptive markets hypothesis offers a number of surprisingly concrete implications for portfolio management. Extending Simon's notion of "satisficing" with evolutionary dynamics, the author argues that much of what behaviorists cite as counter-examples to economic rationality-loss aversion, overconfidence, overreaction, mental accounting, and other behavioral biases-is in fact consistent with an evolutionary model of individual adaptation to a changing environment via simple heuristics. An adaptive markets hypothesis that reconciles market efficiency with behavioral alternatives applies the principles of evolution-competition, adaptation, and natural selection-to financial interactions. Research in the cognitive neurosciences suggests these two perspectives are opposite sides of the same coin. The emerging discipline of behavioral economics and finance has challenged the EMH, arguing that markets are not rational, but rather driven by fear and greed. One of the most influential ideas in the past 30 years is the efficient markets hypothesis, the idea that market prices incorporate all information rationally and instantaneously.

System 1 - the fast, reptilian part of your brain that works on intuition - made a snap, “good enough” answer. If you’re like most people, you will have answered that the ball costs $0.10, which is incorrect (the answer is $0.05). Remember your immediate response as you read it. Throughout the book, Kahneman asks you questions, knowing you will make a mistake while trying to answer them. It’s a bizarre experience reading Thinking, Fast and Slow. Your Brain Has Two Systems: System 1 (fast, intuitive) and System 2 (slow, analytical) Or maybe you’re thinking about buying it.īelow are my 7 best takeaways from Thinking, Fast and Slow. If you’re reading this, it’s possible that you’re halfway through the book and just want someone to give you the gist of it. I found it tough (worthwhile, but tough - like eating a salad you know you need to finish) to get through because it comes in at a very dense 500 pages. Kahneman wrote a fantastic book that will help you improve your thinking and help you spot cognitive errors. Writing a summary for Thinking, Fast and Slow was not easy.ĭon’t get me wrong. But its the characteristic stellar execution of the author that makes it a truly worthy read. Being a huge fan of Agatha Christie and series like Sherlock, I could see some similarities the way story is crafted and layer by layer revealing of subplots. There are hardly any dull moments in the story and even if one keeps it aside for a momentary break, the tale doesn't let you feel at peace unless you complete it. The best part about the book is its tight script and excellent narration of author. After lots of twists and turns and quite a few unexpected folding of events ,the story reaches its climax which is brilliant to say the least as I never saw it coming. Gradually the readers realise that the roots of murder are quite deep and it has a lot to do with the family's past. What seems like a natural death at first ,soon turns reeking of murderous intents especially due to the strange phone call Suhana received on the party night. After her spectacular debut ,her father throws a party but he is mysteriously found dead the following day. Suhana is the new sensation in the singing world. After hearing a lot about this book from my friends and on their strong recommendation I decided to pick this one and I am really glad that I did as it actually fulfilled my expectations. Still I am often asked about my favourite genre and if I have to single out one, psychological thrillers will certainly top the list. I have been an avid reader of books of all kinds and equally appreciate both fictional and non fictional novels. |
