haven't read the book.
Thinking, Fast and Slow
its impossible to think slower than you normally do, you can however spend more time in a single line or be more carfully with your conclutions, etc. But never slower, hence I think the title doesn't me sense to me.
Or I missed something?
edit: just noted for starters that this is not a chess-related book, but my argument still applies
Jonathan Rowson's Seven Deadly Sins of Chess is supposed to have dealt with similiar topics. I haven't read it though, but it seems something about why we make chess mistakes. Anyone read that book? What are the deadly sins?
The book has two sections:
1. "Part I TWO SYSTEMS" where he describes the basic model of how human thinking works in general. This is definitely worth reading for anybody.
2. Part II to Part V now applies this basic model to humans dealing with statistics. Also very interesting, but not as general and fundamental as section one.
So, what to do with the book: read Part I and apply it - instead of statistics - to chess. It helped me a lot to understand what's going on (in the head) and I'm sure so will help you.
Has anyone read this book:
Thinking, Fast and Slow: Daniel Kahneman
Does cognitive biases affect chess?
