Thinking, Fast and Slow

By reading this koob, you will learn how our minds make judgments and choices.

You will also learn:

• The differences in the ways our Systems 1 and 2 think

• How memory affects the decisions we make every day

• The way our image of the world is modified by what we’re exposed to

• How the mind attempts to maintain a coherent version of the world

Our minds are powerful machines that make decisions and create worldviews through many different mechanisms. There are facets of the mind working without our awareness, and some that require more effort and skill. Intuition, overconfidence, and memory all play a role in our decision-making, as does the world we’re exposed to. Our efforts to create a version of the surrounding world that is sensical and controllable cause us to make miscalculations and false judgments. Are you ready to learn about the different ways we choose and think, so that you can determine methods to make more reliable decisions?
