Masashi Matsuie
The Summer House
In a world where speed, spectacle, and noise dominate both our cities and our literature, "The Summer House" offers something radically different: stillness, reflection, and cultural depth.
Describing it as beautiful doesn't quite give it the credit it deserves. Highly recommended!

Daniel Kahneman
Thinking, Fast and Slow
Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow (2013 paperback first published in 2011) is a masterful synthesis of half a century of empirical research on judgment and decision-making. Written for both specialists and informed general readers, the book organizes a large and disparate literature around a deceptively simple architecture: two modes of cognition, (a) System 1 (fast, automatic, associative), and (b) System 2 (slow, deliberative, analytic). Kahneman presents the predictable ways the interactions of systems 1 and 2 produce systematic errors. To do so, he marshals laboratory experiments, field observations, and carefully chosen anecdotes proffering a sustained argument about the cognitive roots of bias, the limits of human intuition, and the subsequent implications for economics, policy, and everyday life.
📖 Absolutely worth reading!
