Thinking Fast and Slow Book Summary
This is a great read for anyone who is interested in psychology and processes of thought. Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman analyses two modes of thought; “System 1” is fast, instinctive and emotional; “System 2” is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. It examines emotional thought versus more logical thought and will literally change the way you think.
This summary will follow a similar format to Kahneman’s book and will discuss each of the five parts. Part one will examine the two different systems of thought. The second part will discuss heuristics and biases before we move onto part three and overconfidence. Part four will summarise different choices and finally, part five will discuss the concept of two selves.
