Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

In this seminal work, Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman takes readers on an extraordinary journey through the human mind, revealing the two distinct systems that drive our thought and decision-making. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional, operating automatically and effortlessly. System 2 is slow, deliberate, and logical, requiring conscious effort. Kahneman expertly exposes the extraordinary power and pervasive biases of System 1, showing how our intuitive impressions often guide our judgments, sometimes leading us astray. The book is a fascinating exploration of cognitive biases, heuristics, and the ways in which we can better understand our own minds to make more informed choices in both our personal and professional lives. A masterful synthesis of decades of pioneering research, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in psychology, economics, or simply in understanding how they think.
