"Thinking, Fast and Slow" By Daniel Kahneman

Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman, a Nobel Prize-winning psychologist. In this book, Kahneman explores the concept of cognitive biases and how they influence our judgments and decisions. He argues that our minds operate on two systems: System 1, which is fast, intuitive, and automatic, and System 2, which is slow, deliberate, and effortful. Kahneman provides evidence for the prevalence of heuristics, or mental shortcuts, that we use to simplify complex problems, but that can lead to predictable errors in our judgments. He demonstrates these errors through several examples, including the availability heuristic, the representativeness heuristic, and the anchoring effect. Ultimately, Kahneman aims to shed light on the often-unconscious processes that govern our thinking and how we can better understand and potentially mitigate the effects of cognitive biases in our everyday lives.
