Listen "Thinking, Fast, and Slow"
Episode Synopsis
Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow explores the two systems of thinking—System 1, which is fast, intuitive, and emotional; and System 2, which is slower, more deliberate, and logical—and how they interact to shape our judgments and decisions. The book examines cognitive biases, such as the availability heuristic and anchoring effect, which lead to predictable errors in thinking. Kahneman also discusses the concepts of loss aversion, prospect theory, and the differences between the experiencing self and the remembering self. Finally, it explores the limitations of human prediction and the often superior accuracy of statistical algorithms compared to expert intuition.
