- perchard 7y agoI enjoyed TFS but tend to agree with this review: > Thinking Fast and Slow is my runner-up for “book most overrated by investors” (with Klarman’s Margin of Safety the champion.) People who pitch this book as “required reading” simply haven’t read broadly enough about cognitive biases: while the content is certainly useful and I don’t take anything away from Kahneman as a researcher, his writing/communication/worldview leave much to be desired, and the same lessons can be learned far more effectively and enjoyably via a variety of other books (many of which are suggested below). http://www.askeladdencapital.com/daniel-kahnemans-thinking-fast-and-slow-book-review/ http://www.askeladdencapital.com/daniel-kahnemans-thinking-f...
