10 Books Everyone Starts but That No One Finishes
<p>In 2014, a mathematician named Jordan Ellenberg calculated which books were the most “unfinished of all time” using Amazon Kindle data.</p>
<p>He named his index the Hawking Index in honor of Stephen Hawking whose book <em>A Brief History of Time </em>was one the most unfinished books ever written.</p>
<p>Here are 10 other books no one ever finishes.</p>
<h1>1. Thinking Fast and Slow, by Daniel Kahneman</h1>

<p>Daniel Kahneman’s masterpiece is a popular scientific account of his (and his friend Amos Tversky)’s discovery of more than a hundred psychological biases.</p>
<p>Ever heard of <strong>loss aversion</strong>? This bias describes the phenomenon of experiencing more pain when we lose something than experiencing pleasure when we gain the same thing.</p>
<p>It was discovered by Kahneman.</p>
<p><strong>Anchoring </strong>(relying on the first piece of information we get), the <strong>endowment effect</strong> (people value things more when they own them), the <strong>framing effect</strong> (people make a decision based on issue framing), or the <strong>hindsight bias</strong> are all heuristics tested and found by Kahneman.</p>
<p>But voila. The book takes a massive 13 hours to read, and it’s fairly slow.</p>
<p>Kahneman could have written something 10 times shorter and still as interesting.</p>
<p>Of all of the people who began the book, only 7% finished it.</p>
