Can someone who read this comment on whether it has personal practical value? I mean, it might be cool to say things like, "That's your System 1 talking so we better switch to System 2," but I'm wondering if you could just instead say, "You're using intuition and we should analyze this in more detail." Kahneman himself admits he didn't improve his own judgment using his theory, so maybe things more like how-to guides would be better. (I did read this.)

I am, however, thinking of buying Pfeffer's Power.
