What guides YOU in your decision-making process? We're so self-confident in our rationality that we think all our decisions are well-considered. When we choose a job, decide how to spend our time, or buy something, we believe we've considered all the relevant factors and are making the optimal choice. In reality, our minds are riddled with biases leading to poor decision-making. We ignore data we don't see and weigh evidence inappropriately.

Thinking, Fast and Slow provides an outline of the two most common approaches our brains utilize. Like a computer, our brain is built on systems. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional. Daniel Kahneman encourages us to move away from our reliance on this system. System 1 is the most common source of mistakes and stagnation.

In comparison, system 2 is a slower, more deliberate, and logical thought process. As a result, Kahneman recommends tapping into this system more frequently. As well to this advice, Kahneman provides guidance on how and why we make our decisions.
