Think with Daniel Kahneman's tools

12 Stations through two of Kahneman's books, from the biases that bend a single judgment to the noise that scatters many, ending in a decision hygiene routine of your own for a judgment you make often.

We do not re-summarise Thinking, Fast and Slow; it has its own road. We connect it with Noise, written with Olivier Sibony and Cass R. Sunstein: first the biases that bend one judgment, then the noise that scatters judgments that should agree, and the hygiene that reduces it. The order is a teaching order designed by BookYol, not the authors' own.

    Your own bias, caught in writing

    Three fast answers are caught and checked in writing, one confident story is tested against what would prove it wrong, one number is written before anyone else's, and one prediction is dated before its result.

    Destination: a decision hygiene routine

    A one-page routine for a real, recurring judgment is written: the outside view first, the parts scored separately, independent views before discussion, and a small noise audit on the same cases to show whether the spread narrows.

The BookYol LetterTwo letters a week

For the road

The road is daily. The letter is weekly.

While you walk Think with Daniel Kahneman's tools, two letters a week widen the view: a big idea on Tuesday and a small experiment on Friday, drawn from the same shelf of books.

Tuesday

The Big Idea

One idea that challenges an assumption, explained properly, with its source.

Friday

The Small Experiment

One small thing to try before Monday, so the idea becomes something you do.
