In the much awaited Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman takes us on a revolutionary mental journey and describes the two systems that govern our thought processes. System 2 is slower, more deliberate, and more rational than System 1, which is quick, intuitive, and emotive. Kahneman demonstrates the remarkable powers of rapid thinking as well as its flaws and biases. He also demonstrates the widespread impact of intuitive perceptions on our beliefs and actions. Only by understanding how the two systems interact to influence our judgments and decisions will we be able to comprehend the effects of loss aversion and overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of projecting what will make us happy in the future, the difficulties of appropriately framing risks at work and at home, and the profound influence of cognitive biases on everything from stock market play to vacation planning.
In a vibrant discussion of cognitive processes, Kahneman shows the reader when and how to trust their intuition as well as the advantages of slow thinking. He provides insightful and useful advice on how to make decisions in both our personal and professional life, as well as how to avoid the mental errors that often lead to problems. Your perspective on thinking will change as a result of reading Thinking, Fast and Slow.
