This book contains endless knowledge and significant psychological experiments you definitely should read about.

Making decisions is complex, but trying to write a book about it seems even more so. But Kahneman executed it perfectly. His witful writing style got me to finish this (long-ass) book. I had a hard time getting through the third chapter because it was very technical, but the fourth chapter made everything right again. Great book, I recommend it to people who are interested in psychology (how we think and how we make decisions) and behavioural economics.

- PS: The Dutch translation isn't quite good, so I'd recommend the English book for Dutch speaking people.

Best non-fictional book about relationships I've ever read. Esther writes so clearly which makes this book so easy and fun to read. I've learnt so much in this book, these pages are full of knowledge.

4/5

If you are not born with the English tongue, just know that if you understand the next words, you'll be fine: Scintillating, Coalesced, Sullen, Delectable, Pulpit, Coveted, Belligerent, Gamboling, Nosegay, Countenance, Prodigiously, Trepidation, Circumspect, Abrasions, Abreast, Consternation, Scornfully, Petulantly, Domitably, Corrugated, Ominously, Awning, Invidiously,... Because these words will be the average difficulty for the entire book.

I had to check at least 6 words per page. But the thing is that I added a lot of words to my lexicon now. So persevere, as the chaplain would say to you.

This was an exhilarating novel, a rollercoaster for the eye and mind, but not suited for me. I liked the “war is chaos” theme, but it was too much for me.

Still one of the most unique books I've read.
