This book has conquered the world and revolutionized the way we think about our behavior. A compass for everyday life, a handbook for decision-makers - a bestseller that is continually rediscovered by a younger generation.

How do we make our decisions? Why is hesitation a vital survival reflex, and why is it so difficult to know what will make us happy in the future? Daniel Kahneman, Nobel laureate and one of the most influential scientists of our time, illustrates through equally relatable and astonishing examples the mental patterns we follow and how we can protect ourselves against disastrous misjudgments.

The global bestseller is now available in a premium success edition: One million copies of the German-language edition sold.
