Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman can truly change the way you think. The book is based on the psychology of how our brain works, and Kahneman explains how we make decisions through two different mental systems. Sometimes the brain makes decisions very quickly, and other times it works more slowly and carefully.
Kahneman calls these two processes System 1 and System 2.
System 1 is fast, automatic, and emotional.
System 2 is slow, logical, and deliberate.
For example, if someone asks, “How was the performance of the current government?”, your brain instantly gives an answer using System 1. But if you are asked to calculate 125 × 12, you need System 2, which works more slowly and requires effort. Kahneman explains these two modes of thinking through many detailed situations and experiments. The book also explores how our brain experiences illusions—for instance, how two equal images can look different when placed in certain patterns. In addition, Kahneman discusses various psychological biases and how they influence our everyday decisions.
Overall, this book is like a psychological guide that can help you understand your own thinking patterns. If you read it carefully, it can bring meaningful changes to how you think and react. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in improving their decision-making and learning more about human behavior.
