Thinking, Fast and Slow

In this work, the author, a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for his seminal contributions to psychology that challenged the rational model of judgment and decision making, has compiled his extensive research and insights into one book. He explains the two systems that drive our thinking. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional, while System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. He exposes the extraordinary capabilities, as well as the faults and biases, of fast thinking, and reveals the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behavior. He discusses where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can benefit from slow thinking. The author offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and personal lives, and how we can use various techniques to guard against mental glitches.
