Kahneman: Master of the imperfect mind

Daniel Kahneman won a Nobel for explaining why people habitually make the wrong moves when investing or spending their money. Who better to tell you how to do it right?
It isn't often that a psychologist helps explain personal finance, but Daniel Kahneman isn't an ordinary psychologist. In 2002 he won a Nobel Prize in economics for his research into how people confront uncertainty.

Raised in France and Israel and formerly a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, UC-Berkeley and Princeton, Kahneman has spent half a century studying how the human mind works - or fails to.
