About Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman:
Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman explores the mysteries of intuition, judgment, bias, and logic in the international bestseller Thinking, Fast and Slow. His award-winning book explains the different ways people think, whether they're deciding how to invest their money or how to make friends.
Kahneman's experiments in behavioral economics, in collaboration with cognitive psychologist Amos Tversky, led to a theory of two systems of thought: the fast thinking used when ducking a blow, and slow thinking that's better employed for making major life decisions.
Applying these psychological concepts to different facets of our lives, Kahneman demonstrates how to better understand your own decision-making, and the choices made by others.
The summary and analysis in this book are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to great work of nonfiction.
