ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman explores the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional, while System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and logical. The book reveals how these systems interact to shape our judgments and decisions, often leading to predictable errors or cognitive biases. Through various examples and research findings, Kahneman illustrates the heuristics, or mental shortcuts, that our minds employ and how they can sometimes lead us astray. The central theme revolves around understanding these inherent limitations and learning to recognize and mitigate the impact of biases on our thinking.
