Synopsis

Kahneman reveals the two systems that drive human thinking: System 1 (fast, intuitive, emotional) and System 2 (slow, deliberate, logical). The Nobel Prize winner explores how these systems shape our judgments and decisions, often leading to cognitive biases and errors. Through decades of research in behavioral economics and psychology, the book exposes the flaws in human reasoning and offers insights into when we can trust our intuitions and when we should be more skeptical.
