Thinking, Fast and Slow

Book • 2013
In this book, Daniel Kahneman takes readers on a tour of the mind, explaining how the two systems of thought shape our judgments and decisions.

System 1 is fast, automatic, and emotional, while System 2 is slower, effortful, and logical.

Kahneman discusses the impact of cognitive biases, the difficulties of predicting future happiness, and the effects of overconfidence on corporate strategies.

He offers practical insights into how to guard against mental glitches and how to benefit from slow thinking in both personal and business life.

The book also explores the distinction between the 'experiencing self' and the 'remembering self' and their roles in our perception of happiness.
