Two Systems, One Mind
Daniel Kahneman's 2011 summary of decades of research with Amos Tversky introduces System 1 and System 2 thinking. System 1 operates automatically and quickly, full of biases and heuristics that evolved for survival but fail in modern complexity. System 2 is analytical and deliberate but effort-intensive and easily overridden. The book maps dozens of cognitive biases including anchoring, availability, loss aversion, and overconfidence, each one a window into the gap between how we think we think and how we actually do.

:QUOTE [quotetype:plain, subtitle:Daniel Kahneman]
Nothing in life is as important as you think it is while you are thinking about it.


:NOTE.half
Kahneman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2002 despite being a psychologist. He spent 40 years collaborating with Amos Tversky, who died in 1996 and could not share the prize. Kahneman said they thought as one mind.

The book became a global bestseller and reshaped business, medicine, public policy, and behavioural economics. It is cited in more fields than perhaps any other single popular science book published this century.
