Thinking, Fast and Slow

Nobel Prize–winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman explains the two ways our minds think, and the mistakes we make when we trust quick judgments too much.

Three big ideas

  1. Two systemsSystem 1 is fast and automatic; System 2 is slow and effortful.
  2. We rely on shortcutsQuick mental shortcuts help us, but they also lead to predictable errors.
  3. AnchoringThe first number we see can sway our judgments, even when it's irrelevant.
