Speaking with Morgan Housel, who wrote 'The Psychology of Money,' he told me a story—both about himself and another friend—who had tremendous success with their first book. All these great things happened, and then they create a second book which can be an amazing success.
In a discussion with Morgan Housel, the author of 'The Psychology of Money,' Chris Williamson shares a story that highlights the challenge of replicating the success of a first book. The conversation emphasizes how initial successes can set high expectations, making future projects feel less successful by comparison.
you know it's the reason that if you look at uh Morgan hausel's the the psychology of money what a book

Now it would have to be something like the almanac of naval ravicant which you could pick up and put down something like the psychology of money by morgan hausell again like short perhaps more aphoristic stuff or just fiction that you're not really that asked about

Thinking, Fast and Slow
Buy Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman on Amazon
Mentioned 8 times
So uh, Daniel Kahneman got super famous for this work; they got people to do, I think it was like colonoscopies or endoscopies or something, and they were able to track how long someone had been under this procedure and the amount of movement of the camera or whatever; more movement of the camera would mean more discomfort, so that should be higher pain.
Chris, the host, discusses the concept of the peak-end rule and mentions a study by Daniel Kahneman that illustrates this idea. He refers to Kahneman as a highly recognized author, indicating that his discussion is likely based on insights from Kahneman's book "Thinking, Fast and Slow."
In the classic psychology book Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman coined the term 'what you see is all there is.' We pay attention to what’s visible, what’s right in front of us, the known knowns, but we don't necessarily pay much attention to the known unknowns—the things that aren't in our immediate line of vision.
During the discussion, Rob Henderson explicitly mentions Daniel Kahneman's book 'Thinking, Fast and Slow,' referencing the concept of 'what you see is all there is.' This is used to illustrate how individuals often focus solely on what is immediately visible, overlooking other important factors.
so let's think about the system one versus system two thinking or the fast and slow from daniel kahneman the explore versus exploit that james clear talks about in atomic habits
The host references the concept of 'fast and slow' thinking and attributes it to Daniel Kahneman, explicitly mentioning the book title.
This ties in with the way that the brain works as well Anybody that's read Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman knows this You've got the instinctive response which is you system-1 And then you've got the slower more considered response which is number two
Chris Williamson mentions the book and author to explain the brain's two systems of thinking (System 1 and System 2).
so I would read a lot of pop psychology books from back in the day wisdom of crowds Thinking Fast and Slow all those books
Prince mentions reading this book as part of his background in pop psychology.
I'll tell you what is a terrible audiobook to listen to Thinking Fast and Slow that's it's a challenging read if you actually sit down and read it too
The speaker mentions 'Thinking, Fast and Slow' as a challenging book to listen to as an audiobook.
Some of your listeners might be familiar with Daniel Kahneman best-selling book thinking faster slow
The speaker mentions Daniel Kahneman's best-selling book 'Thinking, Fast and Slow'.
for me personally I find it's a bit of an open loop when I've got a book that so Thinking Fast and Slow is a perfect example
The host uses Thinking, Fast and Slow as an example of a book he struggled to finish.
