Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book
Award in 2012. 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. Kahneman offers practical and
enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our
business and our personal lives.
