In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman explores the dual systems of human thought: System 1, which is fast, intuitive, and often error-prone, and System 2, which is slower, deliberative, and more logical. He examines various psychological mechanisms, biases, and heuristics that influence decision-making and highlights the implications of his findings on economics, policy, and personal well-being.
