Thinking, Fast and Slow
Categories: Business & Money, Self-Help
Your mind runs on two systems. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional. System 2 is slower, more deliberate, and more logical. Daniel Kahneman shows how the two shape our judgments, from overconfident business strategies to bad guesses about what will make us happy. He explains when we can trust our intuition and when we can't, how cognitive biases trip us up with money and everyday choices, and what we can do to guard against those mental glitches.
