*Thinking, Fast and Slow* by Daniel Kahneman explores the dual systems of thought that govern human decision-making. System 1, which operates quickly and automatically, is responsible for intuitive judgments and snap decisions, often relying on heuristics or mental shortcuts. System 2, on the other hand, is slower, more deliberate, and logical, engaging in deep analysis and conscious reasoning. Kahneman illustrates how these two systems interact and sometimes conflict, with System 1’s impulsive responses often leading to cognitive biases and errors, while System 2 provides more accurate judgments, though at the cost of greater mental effort. By examining how these systems shape our perceptions, judgments, and decisions, the book sheds light on the often irrational ways we think, challenging readers to become more aware of the cognitive biases that influence their choices.
