Welcome to Librarian Oasis for a deep dive into Daniel Kahneman's transformative book, "Thinking, Fast and Slow." This episode is more than just a book review; it’s a thorough exploration of the two systems of thinking that drive our choices and actions, and the many ways our minds can lead us astray. We uncover the power of system 1 (fast, intuitive thinking), and its tendency towards biases, and the effortful nature of system 2 (slow, deliberate thinking). We explore common cognitive biases, such as availability bias, anchoring bias, representativeness bias, regression to the mean, the law of small numbers, and the sunk cost fallacy, and their influence on our judgments. We also discuss how to overcome these cognitive traps through strategies such as “data as therapy”, promoting transparency and being aware of priming. This podcast also analyzes important concepts such as the distinction between the experiencing and remembering self, and the importance of balancing emotions and reason. Join us as we unpack Kahneman's groundbreaking research and discover how we can become more aware of how we think to make better decisions.
