About the book
Daniel Kahneman, Nobel laureate in Economics, unravels the two systems that govern our thinking: the fast and automatic, and the slow and deliberate. Through scientific studies and everyday examples, the book explores how we make decisions and where we make systematic errors.
A masterpiece of cognitive psychology, Thinking, Fast and Slow offers a deep understanding of unconscious biases and mental shortcuts, revealing the pitfalls of human thought and how to work around them.

”If you liked “Predictably Irrational” or “Stumbling on Happiness” or any of those pop-psychology books, well, this is the Godfather of all of their work.”

”Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman -- Captivating dive into human decision making, marred by inclusion of several/many? psychology studies that fail to replicate. Will stand as a cautionary tale?”
