About the author.Kieran Sheedy has spent many years studying the latest developments in psychology with a focus on cognition and behavioural economics. This research, his correspondence with some leading thinkers in this field, as well as his new thinking in the important areas of Prospect Theory and Empathy are synthesised into his first book:
Good
Thinking, and Bad:
Using the science of cognition to make better decisions
Kieran has a plan to give free copies of this book to as many school libraries as possible and promotes the idea that ‘thinking about thinking’ will eventually become a part of every school’s curriculum.
Born in Ireland in 1961, Kieran originally worked as an Architect in Dublin and London. Kieran has since built a successful career as a senior management consultant specialising in strategic change. He has been a partner in KPMG Consulting, and worked at a senior level in IBM and other blue chip companies.
He is also a serial entrepreneur; setting up a variety of business ranging from restaurants to health care, via property and mobile telephony. Some of these were even successful!
Kieran lives in London, a city that he loves for its cosmopolitan energy.
