Thinking, Fast and Slow By Daniel Kahneman & Drive by Daniel H. Pink 2 Book Set

This two-book set pairs Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman with Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H. Pink. Together, the books consider how people make decisions and what shapes motivation, using examples drawn from everyday life and the modern workplace.

Kahneman contrasts fast, intuitive judgement with slower, more deliberate reasoning, and explores how error and prejudice can influence choices even when we believe we are thinking logically. Pink questions conventional ideas about motivation at work, at school and at home, and examines the human need to direct our own lives, learn and create, and improve ourselves and the world.

Synopses

Thinking, Fast and Slow

This book connects everyday judgements to two modes of thought: one fast and intuitive, the other slow and rational. It considers how mistakes and bias can shape decisions, and describes techniques intended to encourage slower, more considered thinking.

Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

Pink argues that many widely held beliefs about motivating people at work, at school and at home are mistaken. He links performance and satisfaction to the need to direct our own lives, to learn and create, and to do better by ourselves and the world, while also looking at organisations adopting new approaches alongside scientists and entrepreneurs proposing different ways forward.
