In the
international bestseller, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman, the
renowned psychologist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, takes us on a
groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way
we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more
deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate
strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the
future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the
stock market to planning our next vacation--each of these can be understood
only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions.
Engaging
the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where
we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of
slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices
are made in both our business and our personal lives--and how we can use
different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us
into trouble. Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award and
the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and selected by The New York Times Book
Review as one of the ten best books of 2011, Thinking, Fast and Slow
is destined to be a classic.
