Thinking, Fast and Slow is a popular non-fiction book by Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman that deals with human decision making. It describes two systems of thinking: the intuitive (fast) and the rational (slow). The book describes how these two systems influence our behavior and how one tends, consciously or unconsciously, to use one system more than the other. It provides a structured introduction to psychological research that enables readers to better understand their own behavior and that of others. It is an instructive work that will be of interest to psychologists and non-psychologists alike.
