Description

A major New York Times bestseller with over 2.6 million copies sold, Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman is widely recognized as one of the best nonfiction books of the year by The New York Times Book Review and The Wall Street Journal. Kahneman, a world-renowned psychologist and Nobel Prize winner in Economics, explores the mechanisms of human thought by introducing two distinct thinking systems. System 1 operates quickly, relying on intuition and emotion, while System 2 is slower, more deliberate, and logical.

Through this groundbreaking examination, Kahneman reveals how these two systems shape our judgments and decisions in ways we often don’t realize. He discusses the dangers of overconfidence in business strategies, the challenges of predicting our future happiness, and the role of cognitive biases in decision-making, from financial investments to vacation planning.

By engaging readers in an insightful exploration of how we think, Kahneman helps us recognize when we can trust our intuition and when we should instead rely on slow, careful thinking. He provides practical guidance for improving decision-making in both our personal and professional lives, offering techniques to counteract the mental errors that frequently lead us astray.

A bestselling book for nearly a decade, Thinking, Fast and Slow has become a modern classic, transforming the understanding of human thought and decision-making for millions of readers.
