Book: 'Thinking, Fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahneman

In this episode, Chris and Trieu delve into 'Thinking Fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahneman, a Nobel Prize-winning psychologist known for his contributions to behavioral economics. Chris and True reflect on the book's core ideas, particularly the concepts of System 1 (the autonomous brain) and System 2 (the rational mind), and discuss how understanding these can change our decision-making. They also introduce the reflection, 'What You See Is All There Is,' which emphasizes the importance of questioning our initial perceptions and slowing down our thoughts to avoid biases. Join us as we explore these transformative ideas and discuss how they can impact everyday life.
