Kahneman, Daniel

"Understanding biases doesn't eliminate them."

"We are more sympathetic to specific people than to statistics about groups."

"The illusion of skill makes experts overconfident in areas outside their expertise."

"Small samples are more likely to be extreme, but we often miss this."

"Our sense of how we're doing comes from comparisons, not absolute measures."

"The human mind is not designed for logic; it's designed for survival."

"Anchors affect judgment even when we know about anchoring."

"We are storytelling creatures, and the stories we believe shape our reality."

"Good decisions require separating the decision from the outcome."

"The mind can't process true randomness; it imposes patterns."

"We overestimate how much we understand about the world."

"Emotions are data, not noise—but they need to be interpreted carefully."

"The future is more uncertain than we think, and the past is less clear than we remember."

"Making lists of reasons to believe something makes us believe it more strongly."

"What we choose to measure determines what we improve."

"The most important decisions are often made with the least information."

"We are designed to see ourselves as better than average, and we almost all do."

"Knowledge of biases creates the illusion that we're immune to them."

"Depth of knowledge in one domain doesn't protect against biases in that domain."

"The best way to improve decisions is to make more decisions and get feedback."
