Thinking Fast and Slow [Book Circle]

Thinking Fast and Slow [Book Circle]

System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything we do - each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions.

In this Book Circle, learners can expect 4 lively conversations about how we think as the author reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. Kahneman offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our professional and our personal lives - and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble.
