The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

When does our animal brain make decisions for us before our more analytical brain has a chance to think through the consequences? From Nobel laureate Kahneman, this is one of the most important psychology books ever written.

Understand the two systems driving decisions - fast intuitive vs. slow analytical thinking. Know their biases. For complex analysis, create space from intuitions and emotions. Slow down and use structured reasoning.

I think of it as one of the handful of books written in the 21st century that I find most valuable to my thinking and work (along with The Mystery of Capital, (Growth) Mindset, Thinking Fast and Slow, The Good Jobs Strategy, and Grit

It may not seem like much when put like this, but the book does an amazing job at explaining how we can be wrong even when we think we are being logical.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
