Arguably Kahneman’s most famous publication, the book summarizes research that he has conducted over decades and decades. Inside, Kahneman explains how we, as humans, often think and behave irrationally due to faulty intuition, biases, and erroneous mental shortcuts, and how these patterns of thought can hold us back.

outlines the differences between two systems of thinking (one fast and one slow). The fast system makes snap assessments based on heuristics, but can also be misguided by fallacies. The focus fallacy provides the thinker with a judgement that provides too much weight based on the actual experience ( asking someone about how much they like their car). The priming effect, anchoring, and others. Often the slow system (the rational complex problem solving thought processes) can be used more so to justify system ones assessment. Main takeaway is to slow down and think things through when making important decisions. Ask yourself are you being misled by any fallacies or your own Misjudgements.
