Thinking Fast and Slow
Author: Daniel Kahneman
As a multiple award winner, the book Thinking Fast and Slow, written by a 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. In this book, Daniel Kahneman, the author, reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives - and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble.
What they say:
"A major intellectual event...The work of Kahneman and Tversky was a crucial pivot point in the way we see ourselves."
-- David Brooks, The New York Times
