Book Review: Thinking, Fast and Slow - by Daniel Kahneman
Summary
Overview of a lot of Kahneman’s work, lot’s of on cognitive biases etc.
My notes
- “System 1” = The instant, unconscious, automatic, emotional, intuitive thinking.
- “System 2” = The slower, conscious, rational, reasoning, deliberate thinking.
The book is dense and contains a lot of information, this is just my quick notes on what is covered. Probably need to re-read and create better notes.
