Why read it?

1 author picked Noise as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved this book because it completely changed how I think about decision-making. Kahneman’s exploration of how variability in judgment impacts everything—from hiring decisions to medical diagnoses—was eye-opening.

The concept of “noise” helped me better understand how unconscious biases and inconsistencies can impact even the most logical minds. As someone who works with neurodivergent individuals, this book gave me tools to identify and minimize noise in my own thinking processes. It’s a must-read for anyone who wants to fine-tune their decision-making skills and embrace clearer thinking.
