Chapter 38: Thinking About Life. Thoughts of life are more likely to be salient if a contrasting alternative is highly available.

Chapter 36: Life as a Story and Chapter 37: Experienced Well-Being. The easiest way to increase happiness is to control your use of time.

Chapter 35: Two Selves. We should not always trust our experience, which is deluded by duration neglect and the peak-end rule, to make decisions.

Chapter 33: Reversals. When you see cases in isolation, you are likely to be guided by an emotional reaction of System 1.

Chapter 34: Frames and Reality. Frames of perspective alter reality.

Chairs 32: Keeping Score. Intense regret is caused by imagining doing something other than what you have done to failure.

Chapter 2-: Rare Events. People overweight rare events in their decisions due to various factors including confirmation bias, focus, vividness of outcomes, denominator neglect.

Chapter 29: The Fourfold Pattern. The anxiety in a 2% risk is more salient than the hope in a 2% chance.

Your decision weights of concern are different from the probabilities in both.

Chapter 28: Bad Events. Hard work is manifested more during bad events than during good ones because our mind is more eager for risk aversion.

Chapter 28: The Endowment Effect. Loss tolerance with more ownership (reference state or endowed) can be developed with more experience.

Chapter 26: Prospect Theory. The response (risk seeking) to losses is stronger than response (risk aversion) to corresponding gains.
