Seen from this perspective, human behavior is more rational than it might otherwise appear. This work is extremely influential and has spawned an entire research program. This volume collects recent articles, looking at how people use \"fast and frugal heuristics\" to calculate probability and risk and make decisions. It includes the revised articles and newly written introduction that were first published in the hardcover edition. Its appeal is to a mixture of cognitive psychologists, philosophers, economists, and others who study decision making. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Gerd Gigerenzer has created new, pathbreaking ways of thinking about human rationality.
