Thinking, Fast and Slow

Daniel Kahneman is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology Emeritus and a professor of public affairs at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2002 for his groundbreaking work on decision-making with Amos Tversky. He wrote the international best-seller Thinking, Fast and Slow.

In his megabestseller, Thinking, Fast and Slow, world-renowned psychologist and Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think.

System 1 is quick, intuitive, and emotional, whereas System 2 is slower, more deliberate, and logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulty of predicting what will make us happy in the future, and the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation can only be understood by understanding how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions.

Kahneman engages the reader in a lively discussion about how we think, revealing where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can reap the benefits of slow thinking. He provides practical and illuminating insights into how we make decisions in both our professional and personal lives, as well as how we can use various techniques to avoid the mental blunders that frequently get us into trouble. Thinking, Fast and Slow has topped bestseller lists for nearly ten years and is a modern classic, an essential book that has changed the lives of millions of readers. It is among the best books on economics.
