Thinking, Fast and Slow

Author name: Daniel Kahneman

In this book, renowned psychologist Daniel Kahneman takes us on a magical tour inside the human mind and explains the two systems that drive our thinking: System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional, while System 2 is slower, more deliberate, and more rational. Kahneman exposes the extraordinary potential of fast thinking, as well as the errors and biases it entails, and reveals the tremendous influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behaviors. Engaging the reader in a fascinating dialogue about how we think, Kahneman explains when we can trust our intuitive impressions and when we can't , and how we can benefit from the advantages of slow thinking. He also offers a practical and informative analysis of how we make decisions in both our professional and personal lives, and explains how various methods can be used to prevent the mental lapses that so often get us into trouble. This book will radically change the way you look at thinking.
