Daniel Kahnemann
In "Thinking, Fast and Slow," Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman presents a lifetime of research exploring how we think. He distinguishes between two systems that drive the way we think and make choices: System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Kahneman reveals how our minds are tripped up by error and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical), and gives practical insights into how we can guard against these faults to make better decisions. The book is an engaging blend of psychology, behavioral economics, and personal anecdotes that offers profound insights into how our minds work, how we make choices, and how we can improve our decision-making.
Read if: you're fascinated by the mechanics of human thought and decision-making, and you're seeking insights into how to think more clearly and make better decisions in both your personal and professional life.
