Thinking, Fast & Slow by Daniel Kahneman
“Thinking, Fast and Slow” is a groundbreaking book by Daniel Kahneman that explores the two systems of thinking that drive human decision-making. Kahneman, a Nobel Prize-winning psychologist, presents his decades of research in cognitive psychology to explain how humans think and make decisions. He introduces the concept of System 1, which is fast, intuitive, and prone to biases, and contrasts it with System 2, which is slower, more deliberate, and analytical.
Through engaging examples and experiments, Kahneman illustrates how these two systems interact and influence our judgments, choices, and behavior in various aspects of life, including economics, psychology, and everyday decision-making. The book offers insights into the quirks and limitations of the human mind, shedding light on how we perceive the world and why we often make irrational decisions.
