Thinking, Fast and Slow

Fantastic book on the ways our minds work--sometimes fast, sometimes slow, right often, wrong enough that we should be more careful. Despite my interest in economics, I found the sections on prospect theory pretty dry. Definitely worth the read for the first two sections and the final section, though.

""More often than not, risk-takers underestimate the odds they face. Their confidence raises morale, helps obtain resources, and enhances their prospects. When action is needed, optimism--even of the mildly delusional variety--may be a good thing.""
