WolfMy friend Jay Wren recommended a book yesterday at lunch:
"Thinking, Fast and Slow"
by Daniel Kahneman
https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman
A recommendation from Jay is an insta-buy. I got it as an audio-book (because of my commute).
It is not **at all** what I was expecting! I guess I thought maybe I was expecting something like a "self-help" book or the like. No. This is **not** a book aimed at a broad audience. This is a book aimed at people who understand (at least a bit about) probability and bias and category theory and ... What I'm saying is: it's not fluff. It's genuine knowledge aimed square at me. Jay's recommendation was on the money.
I wouldn't hand this to my MIL (it's past her at this point). I wouldn't hand it to my wife (she's certainly smart enough, but I don't think it falls in her circle of interest). I absolutely **would** recommend it to **you**, or to anyone in my circle of friends.
Go have some fun!
