  • Kahneman is a prolific researcher who won the Nobel prize for his work on prospect theory. There are too many foundational papers to cite but THINKING FAST AND SLOW is a fantastic intro to his outsized influence on the discipline of behavioral economics: https://t.co/TJuoNS0QleLink to Tweet

  • Put another way, it’s not that reading Thinking Fast and Slow or Zero to One have no value (both great books!) — rather, I think happiness and competence derive from originality and heterogeneity, and that takes exploring.Link to Tweet
