In the international bestseller Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman, the renowned psychologist and Nobel Prize winner in economics, takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive our thinking. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberate, and logical. The impact of overconfidence on business strategies, the difficulty of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation—all these topics can only be understood by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and personal lives—and how we can use various techniques to guard against the mental processes that often lead us astray. Winner of the Best Book Award from the National Academy of Sciences and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and selected by The New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best books of 2011, Thinking, Fast and Slow is destined to become a classic.
