On the quick I could think of two: "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman - essentially a book about "bugs" in our minds that lead us to bad decisions, "The Design of Everyday Things" by Donald Norman - changes the way you look at human-made things, makes you better appreciate…
on “Ask HN: What books fundamentally changed the way you think about the world?” ↗Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman (father of behavioral psychology) was incredibly impactful.

on “Ask HN: What's the best book you read in 2021?” ↗Thinking, fast and slow - by Daniel Kahneman It is a great book and talks about two systems in which we can divide the working of our brain.

on “Ask HN: Recommend one book I need to read this summer?” ↗…negativa. This is the concept that it is easier to know what NOT to do than what should be done. Many interested ideas flow out from that when it comes to personal health, public policy, and morality. Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman: this book opened up my eyes to a host of mental biases. It's similar to some of Taleb's work but IMO easier to read. My favorite chapter surrounded the idea of the self as your memory vs your experience.…

on “Ask HN: Books with a high signal to noise ratio?” ↗Here's a list of books that I read this year and liked. My favorite was Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.

on “Ask HN: Best books you read in 2012” ↗…Bitcoin, as the price of anything in life, is determined by supply and demand. Stop glorifying stuff using specialized language because people will actually believe you are the opposite of gifted. Reading "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman will do you good. The price of Bitcoin will remain forever volatile as the system is inherently flawed and nobody has faith in it. Usually I block trolls, but in the lack of such a functionality on HN…

on “Ask HN: What are some good inspirational and uplifting books?” ↗A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel heavily informed my attitude to investment/savings and put to bed any dreams I had of magically day-trading my way to wealth in my spare time. Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman is just generally a really interesting book and impacted the way I view decision-making. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami really opened my eyes to unconventional plotlines and surrealist/magic…
on “Ask HN: What is the best book you have read with the greatest impact on you?” ↗Working out whether someone is smart or not on the basis of how an entirely informal conversation goes makes you extremely vulnerable to biases. Read "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman and you will become much more suspicious of sentiments like "I think it’s pretty easy to tell whether someone’s smart in casual conversation". We are actually extremely bad at guessing people's competences…

on “Ask HN: What books changed the way you think about almost everything?” ↗…don't attach my experience of an emotion to a belief that the emotion gives me real, trustworthy information about the true state of the world.
