Thinking, Fast and Slow

About this book

Thinking, Fast and Slow explains the two systems that shape how people think: one fast, intuitive and emotional, the other slower, more deliberative and more logical. Kahneman connects those two systems to overconfidence in corporate strategy, to how poorly we predict our own future happiness, and to the reach of cognitive biases. The book marks where intuition can be trusted and where it cannot, and how a reader can draw on slower, deliberate thinking. Practical insights cover how choices are made at work and at home, and the techniques that guard against the mental slips that get us into trouble.
