🧠📚 - 209/300
A lot of books in the field of psychology are out in the world which are filled with profound thought processes and insights.
With this series, I will be covering one book to improve your knowledge of psychology by giving a gist about them.
📚 Book:- Thinking Fast and Slow
Thinking, Fast and Slow is a book by Daniel Kahneman that explores the psychological basis of human decision-making. The book is divided into two parts: "System 1" and "System 2."
System 1 refers to the automatic, unconscious, and intuitive part of our thinking that allows us to process information quickly and make quick decisions.
System 2 is the more deliberative, logical, and conscious part of our thinking that we use for more complex tasks.

Throughout the book, Kahneman explains how our thinking is influenced by various biases and heuristics, and how these biases can lead us to make irrational decisions. He also discusses how our beliefs and expectations can shape our perceptions and how we can use this understanding to make more rational decisions.
One of the main themes of the book is the concept of "framing," or the way in which we present information to ourselves and others. Kahneman explains how the way we frame a problem or decision can significantly impact our decision-making process and the outcome.
Another key concept in the book is "probability neglect," or the tendency to neglect the probability of an event when making a decision. Kahneman uses the example of insurance to illustrate this concept, explaining how people often focus more on the potential benefits of insurance rather than the probability of the event that the insurance covers.
Overall, Thinking, Fast and Slow is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers valuable insights into how we make decisions and how we can make better ones.
