Ah, I found a pdf of the book and did some searches to jog my memory. It was probably the section where he describes going to walks with one of his associates to discuss ideas about decision making, bias and rationality and "examining our own intuitions" to gauge how closely they fit rational actor economic models or their proposed alternate models.
I find this whole "well I examined my intuitions about X so that is some evidence of this model of human decision making about X" that is immensely popular in philosophy (especially meta-ethics) and economics to just be embarrassing garbage. So that definitely hit a very strong bias I have. And it seemed completely out of place in a book concerned with human irrationality.
