Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman explores why people often accept information more readily when it is presented in certain ways, and how everyday judgements can be shaped by context. It is a non-fiction book about decision-making and the contrasting modes of thought involved in how we choose and evaluate.

Synopsis

The book describes two approaches to thinking: one that is fast and intuitive, and another that is slower and more deliberate. It examines how errors and prejudice can influence our conclusions, including in situations where we believe we are being logical.

It also sets out practical techniques intended to support slower, more considered thinking, with the aim of improving decision-making in work, at home, and in day-to-day life.
