Thinking Fast and Slow
Book Summaries - You Exec - Ein Podcast von You Exec
People often aren't able to come up with an answer that is logical and practical when faced with making a decision. This problem happens because we approach issues with a combination of viewpoints. Experience, biases, emotion, instinct, and, of course, logic all play a role in decision making. This book breaks down these viewpoints into two systems of thinking – the fast and slow systems. System 1 is a mode of thinking based on emotion and subconscious reaction. This type of thinking happens quickly, typically called “gut instinct,” and can be impractical and flawed. System Two is a mode of thinking based on slow, deliberate thought and a more logical approach. By understanding how and why the two systems affect decision-making and new experiences, it's possible to learn how to make better decisions and create new ways of thinking based on reasoning.
