Kahnemans steely analysis of the human mind and its many flaws remains perhaps the most useful guide to remaining sane and steady - Josh Glancy The Sunday Times There have been many good books on human rationality and irrationality, but only one masterpiece. In this path-breaking book, Kahneman shows how the mind works, and offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and personal lives-and how we can guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Kahneman's singularly influential work has transformed cognitive psychology and launched the new fields of behavioral economics and happiness studies. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, he shows where we can trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking, contrasting the two-system view of the mind with the standard model of the rational economic agent. On the one hand, you have your rapid-fire snap judgements, la Malcolm Gladwell. The two systems ‘Thinking Fast and Slow’ sets out the idea that there are two systems of thought in the brain. So, I picked up ‘Thinking Fast and Slow’. Examining how both systems function within the mind, Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities as well as the biases of fast thinking and the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and our choices. I loved them both and was excited to get into a new perspective. Two systems drive the way we think and make choices, Daniel Kahneman explains: System One is fast, intuitive, and emotional System Two is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. ![]()
