Warning: This is a great book but not an easy read! Professor Kahneman taught psychology to Ph.D students at Princeton. His research work got him the Economic Nobel prize in 2002 to discover that the brain of homo sapiens contains two brains: the fast (but limited if not stupid) system 1 or the primal brain, the slow (but smart) system 2 or the rational brain. His research states that “System 1 still rules today”. According to Kahneman, "Probably Approximately Correct" is the driving norm of human decision-making. His work lead to the development of a new scientific branch called “behavioral economics” or “neuro-economics. His book teaches profound lessons for anybody in business, sales, marketing, parenting, education, etc. It is a fascinating but complex (at times very complex if not irritating) book you will love or hate. You’ve been warned!

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Every page captivated me with simple, accurate yet entertaining explanations of why we ended up doing what we do and being who we are. Starting 70,000 years ago the book reconsiders through biology, psychology, and history all the milestones that brought our species to today. It even considers what we should do now for a better future. This book is to understanding Homo Sapiens what A Brief History Of Time is to understanding the universe!
100,000 years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one. Us. Homo sapiens. How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations and human rights; to trust money, books and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come?
In Sapiens, Dr Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the…
Based on the seminal work of Daniel Kahneman, the book presents the ONLY scientific yet simple, step-by-step approach to persuasion. First, the book demonstrates the dominance of the primal brain (system 1) and how this brain can only be triggered by six stimuli -Personal, Contrastable, Tangible, Memorable, Visual, Emotional. The book explains how the stimuli require that companies follow four steps to achieve persuasion: Diagnose the Pain, Differentiate their Claims, Demonstrate the Gain, and Deliver to the Primal Brain. The entire model called NeuroMap® is presented visually. The book also includes 32 real-world business cases.
