Abstract

This research study is conducted on the Amazon reviews for the book, Thinking, Fast and Slow and the comments on the author's talk about the same on a YouTube video. A total of 585 reviews (12,731 words) about the book from Amazon and 158 comments (4,593 words) for Kahneman's talk on YouTube are analysed using the R software and the word clouds along with the sentiment analyses are done. We found that the word 'book' is highly used in Amazon reviews and the word 'system' is highly used in the YouTube comments. This paved a way for an interesting finding that people who see videos understand the core concepts better than those who read books as the video comments discussed more about systems of the brain. Both the Amazon reviews and YouTube comments have high 'positive' score in sentiment analysis; however, the negative and critical opinions are higher in YouTube comments.
