Thinking Fast and Slow: How to Make Better Decisions - [Cognitive Biases #6]
The surprising psychology of rationality, bias, numbers and happiness can improve your decision-making.
Daniel Kahneman's 'Thinking Fast and Slow' explores the interplay between our fast, intuitive thinking (System 1) and our slow, rational thinking (System 2).
Sam discusses various cognitive biases and how our thinking systems cause them such as the anchoring effect, availability heuristic, confirmation bias, and overconfidence bias.
He also covers fundamental theories like prospect theory and the peak-end rule, offering practical insights on fostering happiness and making better life choices. Stay tuned to learn more about how our brains work and how we can use this knowledge for self-improvement.
