Tom and I review arguably most of the influential books of the last decade: Frédéric Laloux’s Reinventing Organizations.

Why is there more chance we'll believe something if it's in a bold type face? Why are judges more likely to deny parole before lunch? Why do we assume a good-looking person will be more competent? The answer lies in the two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking.

Thinking: Fast and Slow is a book that has simultaneously made an enormous impact in the fields of both psychology and economics. The research it covers helped earn co-author Kahneman a Noble prize.
