Books that Shaped the World

What if your thinking isn’t as rational as you believe?

In this episode, we explore Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman, a landmark book that reshaped how we understand judgement, decision-making, and human behaviour.

We break down the two systems that drive the mind: the fast, intuitive mode that guides most of our actions, and the slower, analytical mode we rely on far less than we think. From cognitive biases and overconfidence to loss aversion and framing effects, this episode examines why we consistently make flawed decisions, and why those flaws are not random, but deeply structured.

More importantly, we explore what this means in practice: how these patterns show up in leadership, business, relationships, and everyday choices, and why improving decisions is less about intelligence and more about awareness and design.

If you want to understand how you think, and why that thinking often goes wrong, this episode offers a clear and thought-provoking guide.
