I&rsquo;ve been meaning to read &ldquo;Thinking, Fast and Slow&rdquo; for a while, but I got to it just now.</p> <h2 id="what-i-liked">What I liked</h2> <p>The book is very dense: there is just an outstanding amount of information. A full life of research, distilled for the layman. The writing style is clear and accessible, but never banal.</p>
