Thinking, Fast and Slow
by Daniel Kahneman
Three key ideas
- Fast impressions make ordinary life manageable; slow analysis helps with hard questions.
- Slow reasoning can rationalize a first mistake; intuition can be reliable in a stable setting with good feedback.
- People often swap in an easier question without noticing. Memorable examples and first numbers pull judgment.
The five 2-minute lessons
- 1.Two modes, not two people
- 2.Spot the easier question
- 3.Look at similar cases first
- 4.Same facts, different words
- 5.Experience is not memory
