Daniel Kahneman Libros

Judgment pervades human experience. Do I have a strong enough case to go to trial? Will the Fed change interest rates? Can I trust this person? This book examines how people answer such questions. How do people cope with the complexities of the world economy, the uncertain behavior of friends and adversaries, or their own changing tastes and personalities? When are people's judgments prone to bias, and what is responsible for their biases? This book compiles psychologists' best attempts to answer these important questions.

 The contemporary rabbi is influenced by the modern rabbinic establishments throughout the world, including the rabbinate in Israel. The rabbinate's monopoly on opinions and interpretations prevents rabbis from expressing their individual positions out of fear of delegitimization. The current structure gives the public a negative impression of the rabbinic establishment. The Importance of the Community Rabbi strives to describe and delineate key requirements for a good rabbi, i.e., one who can provide socially acceptable halachic solutions within the parameters of Orthodox thinking. Rabbi Sperber elucidates the halachic techniques and mechanisms that may be used toward this goal. These are further illustrated with stories from rabbinic literature and examples from various responsa.

Choices, Values, and Frames presents an empirical and theoretical challenge to classical utility theory, offering prospect theory as an alternative framework. Extensions and applications to diverse economic phenomena and to studies of consumer behavior are discussed. The book also elaborates on framing effects and other demonstrations that preferences are constructed in context, and it develops new approaches to the standard view of choice-based utility. As with the classic 1982 volume, Judgment Under Uncertainty, this volume is comprised of papers published in diverse academic journals. The editors have written several new chapters and a preface to provide a context for the work.

Psychologist Daniel Kahneman reveals the truth about our intuitions and rationality to teach us how to better our lives. He explores the fascinating flaws and marvels of human behaviour and reveals to us the common errors in people's beliefs.

From the multi-million copy bestselling author of Thinking Fast and Slow Daniel Kahneman, the co-author of the million-copy bestseller Nudge Cass Sunstein, and the eminent professor and writer on strategic thinking Olivier Sibony, a new book about how to make better decisions. We make thousands of decisions every day, from minute choices we don't even know we're making up to great, agonising deliberations. But when every decision we make is life-changing, the way we reach them matters. And for every decision, there is noise. This book teaches us how to understand all the extraneous factors that impact and bias our decision-making - and how to combat them and improve our thinking. Filled with new science, fascinating case studies and revealing practical examples, the skills this book teaches can be readily used by private or public institutions, by schools, hospitals, businesses, judges and in our everyday lives.

Although Jewish liturgy has its roots in antiquity, it evolved and developed throughout the ages to emerge in its present, largely standardized form. However, in some aspects, it is archaic, containing passages and statements that apply more to past eras than to the present day. In some cases, these passages may even be offensive to certain segments of our society. It is for this reason that this book attempts to delineate the parameters of halachically permissible changes in Jewish liturgy -- changes that have precedents in traditional sources and that may correct anachronisms and defuse possible conflict, thus enhancing the experience of prayer for an ever-widening spectrum of Orthodox Jewry.

"This volume examines the relationship between the two major categories of mitzvot: ritual mitzvot (between man and his Maker) and social-interpersonal mitzvot (between man and his neighbor). It is argued that when there is a clash between mitzvot of these two categories, the interpersonal mitzvot almost always override those of a ritual nature"--

Aký rozdiel je medzi prirodzeným (intuitívnym) a formálno-logickým usudzovaním? Sú všetky logické chyby zlé? Aké postupy (heuristiky) používa intuitívne usudzovanie? Prečo sú hybnou silou rozvoja intelektu sociálne vzťahy? Aké komunikačné riziká sú spojené s informáciami získanými prostredníctvom svedectva? Na základe čoho vieme odhadnúť, čo sa deje v mysli iného? Prečo sa etnické klasifikácie zásadne líšia od iných sociálnych klasifikácií, napríklad profesijných či športových? Práve na tieto otázky hľadajú odpovede autori knihy Sociálna inteligencia. Prvú časť knihy tvoria preklady prác renomovaných zahraničných autorov (D. Kahneman, G. Gigerenzer, N. Humphrey a D. Sperber). Druhá časť knihy obsahuje príspevky domácich autorov (J. Bašnáková, M. Filko, M. Kanovský, V. Kvasnička, E. Pauková, J. Pospíchal a J. Rybár). Sme presvedčení, že kniha môže pomôcť vedeckým pracovníkom a študentom počítačovej vedy, psychológie, antropológie, ekonómie a ďalších prírodných a sociálnych vied zorientovať sa v danej oblasti. Dúfame, že poslúži aj všetkým, ktorí sa chcú bližšie oboznámiť so súvislosťami medzi intuitívnym usudzovaním a sociálnou inteligenciou.
