The #1 best-selling summary of Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. Learn how to apply the main ideas and principles from the original book in a quick, easy read!
This is the summarized version of Daniel Kahneman’s international bestseller, “Thinking, Fast and Slow”, in which the author reveals how the mind works and the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, emotional, and intuitive; conversely, System 2 is slower, logical, and deliberative. Kahneman exposes the exceptional capabilities—as well as the faults and biases—of fast thinking; he explains how intuition affects our thoughts and behavior, how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking, and what techniques we can use to protect ourselves against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble.
By the end of this book, you should gain a better understanding of how the mind works and how it actually “deceives” you. You can use this information for self-analysis and self-improvement. Alternatively, you can use it to understand the actions and behaviors of others. In any case, “Thinking, Fast and Slow” will surely transform the way you think about thinking. If you are looking for a comprehensive reference about psychology and behavioral economics, this is the right book for you.
