He organizes human thought into two systems: System 1, fast, intuitive, and emotional, forming impressions and judgments effortlessly and automatically; and System 2, slow, deliberate, and logical, engaged only when we consciously think something through.\n\nMost of daily life runs on System 1, and Kahneman methodically maps the biases and shortcuts it relies on — anchoring, availability, loss aversion, overconfidence, the planning fallacy, and dozens more — showing how these heuristics that serve us well most of the time also produce systematic, predictable errors in judgment. Drawing on decades of experiments, he applies these findings to everything from stock-picking and medical diagnoses to the mistakes that undermine our happiness, and outlines when we should distrust our own snap judgments.\n\nThinking, Fast and Slow is a foundational text of behavioral economics, translating rigorous research into an accessible account of the machinery behind human choice — essential reading for understanding why smart people make irrational decisions, and how to guard against it.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksxgcf0x52tccmnp3tk2a9x4.jpg","LASia3%M~q?b-pfQj[j[?vt7D%Rj",2014,"5.00",1,527,[80],{"id":81,"slug":82,"name":83},"01kjq6xjfnq9veeveef44c4mpn","daniel-kahneman-dkx5","Daniel Kahneman",[85,86,90,94,98,102],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":87,"name":88,"slug":89,"is_fiction":18},73,"Business & Economics","business-economics",{"id":91,"name":92,"slug":93,"is_fiction":18},75,"Philosophy & Religion","philosophy-religion",{"id":95,"name":96,"slug":97,"is_fiction":18},72,"Self-Help & Psychology","self-help-psychology",{"id":99,"name":100,"slug":101,"is_fiction":18},92,"Science","science",{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},[104],{"id":105,"slug":106,"name":107,"position":108,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kvkd9kfm2whm9hhastydanfx","oscar-saggi-rvmz","Oscar Saggi","1.00",{"pace":110,"complexity":7,"audience":56,"mood":111,"themes":112,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[60,58],[],{"id":114,"slug":115,"title":116,"description":117,"primary_cover_url":118,"cover_blurhash":119,"first_publish_year":120,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":121,"authors":122,"genres":131,"series":149,"enrichment":150},"01kjrge4x3bnrjhynbtw7bsqg2","art-de-larnaque-decouvertes-considerables-matt","Art de l'arnaque, Decouvertes Considerables","Discover the timeless strategies of influence and persuasion with \"The Art of Seduction.\" This book offers a deep dive into the psychology of attraction and manipulation, providing readers with insights into the minds of historical seducers and their methods.

A deft indictment of the marital ideal, as well as a celebration of the dissent that constitutes adultery, delivered in pointed daggers of prose” (The New Yorker). Who would dream of being against love? No one. Love is, as everyone knows, a mysterious and all-controlling force, with vast power over our thoughts and life decisions. But is there something a bit worrisome about all this uniformity of opinion? Is this the one subject about which no disagreement will be entertained, about which one truth alone is permissible? Consider that the most powerful organized religions produce the occasional heretic; every ideology has its apostates; even sacred cows find their butchers. Except for love. Hence the necessity for a polemic against it. A polemic is designed to be the prose equivalent of a small explosive device placed under your E-Z-Boy lounger. It won’t injure you (well not severely); it’s just supposed to shake things up and rattle a few convictions.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24mzg8wfnnbds3jgb3r4k3.jpg?v=48cfb2aea4","L7P?{s=|u3*I-Ua1XlTI.RtlnOrr",2004,224,[487],{"id":488,"slug":489,"name":490},"01kx24mzg14wnwr840tjk0bw10","laura-kipnis-qoft","Laura Kipnis",[492,493,494],{"id":362,"name":363,"slug":364,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":438,"name":439,"slug":440,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":53,"complexity":7,"audience":56,"mood":497,"themes":499,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[58,498],"satirical",[],{"key":501,"params":502,"works":503},"genre",{"genre":33},[504,529],{"id":505,"slug":506,"title":507,"description":508,"primary_cover_url":509,"cover_blurhash":510,"first_publish_year":511,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":512,"authors":513,"genres":518,"series":525,"enrichment":526},"01kx26w4ztwmytmkmfesv4xyt2","black-owned-gol2","Black-Owned","**L.A. Times Book Prize Finalist** **A November LibraryReads Pick** Longtime NBC News reporter Char Adams writes a deeply compelling and rigorously reported history of Black political movements told through the lens of Black-owned bookstores, which have been centers for organizing from abolition to the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter. In Black-Owned, Char Adams celebrates the living history of Black bookstores. Packed with stories of activism, espionage, violence, community, and perseverance, Black-Owned starts with the first Black-owned bookstore, which an abolitionist opened in New York in 1834, and after the bookshop’s violent demise, Black book-lovers carried on its cause. In the twentieth century, civil rights and Black Power activists started a Black bookstore boom nationwide. Malcolm X gave speeches in front of the National Memorial African Book Store in Harlem—a place dubbed “Speakers’ Corner”—and later, Black bookstores became targets of FBI agents, police, and racist vigilantes. Still, stores continued to fuel Black political movements. Amid these struggles, bookshops were also places of celebration: Eartha Kitt and Langston Hughes held autograph parties at their local Black-owned bookstores. Maya Angelou became the face of National Black Bookstore Week. And today a new generation of Black activists is joining the radical bookstore tradition, with rapper Noname opening her Radical Hood Library in Los Angeles and several stores making national headlines when they were overwhelmed with demand in the Black Lives Matter era. As Adams makes clear, in an time of increasing repression, Black bookstores are needed now more than ever. Full of vibrant characters and written with cinematic flair, Black-Owned is an enlightening story of community, resistance, and joy.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26w50cmeg92rs617tqncyb.jpg?v=39cf1d6e73","LDNv3QwG}P%1i^F$Vro#}%NHJXRO",2025,305,[514],{"id":515,"slug":516,"name":517},"01kx26w5074ybv35fhnesr9fzb","char-adams-pd95","Char Adams",[519,523,524],{"id":520,"name":521,"slug":522,"is_fiction":17},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":137,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":53,"complexity":7,"audience":56,"mood":527,"themes":528,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[192,286],[],{"id":530,"slug":531,"title":532,"description":533,"primary_cover_url":534,"cover_blurhash":535,"first_publish_year":259,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":536,"authors":537,"genres":542,"series":546,"enrichment":547},"01kx2emgg10e0ns5yv7ezvqggp","motherhood-so-white-pgfq","Motherhood So White","\"In America, Mother = White. That's what Nefertiti, a single African American woman, discovered when she decided she wanted to adopt a Black baby boy out of the foster care system. Eager to finally join the motherhood ranks, Nefertiti was shocked when people started asking her why she wanted to adopt a 'crack baby' or said that she would never be able to raise a Black son on her own. She realized that American society saw motherhood through a white lens, and that there would be no easy understanding or acceptance of the kind of family she hoped to build. Motherhood So White is the story of Nefertiti's fight to create the family she always knew she was meant to have and the story of motherhood that all American families need now. In this unflinching account of her parenting journey, Nefertiti examines the history of adoption in the African American community, faces off against stereotypes of single, Black motherhood, and confronts the reality of raising children of color in racially charged, modern-day America. Honest, vulnerable, and uplifting, Motherhood So White reveals what Nefertiti knew all along - that the only requirement for a successful family is one raised with love.\"--Page [2] of cover.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2emggkpna1h2ff0m530hra.jpg?v=3b27d7c8e8","LQP?,Z?b~qD%RjRjRjtR_3RjD%-;",304,[538],{"id":539,"slug":540,"name":541},"01kx2emggezp9e1xrj3g10vv7y","nefertiti-austin-kta7","Nefertiti Austin",[543,544,545],{"id":185,"name":186,"slug":187,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":171,"name":172,"slug":173,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":53,"complexity":7,"audience":56,"mood":548,"themes":549,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[192,286],[],[]]
