In this episode, we dive into Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow, a fascinating exploration of how two cognitive systems shape our thinking and decision-making. System 1 operates quickly and intuitively, relying on heuristics (mental shortcuts), while System 2 is slower, deliberate, and analytical.

Kahneman highlights key cognitive biases caused by System 1, such as:

• The availability heuristic: Judging frequency based on ease of recall
• Anchoring: Over-relying on initial information
• The framing effect: Decisions influenced by how information is presented

Using real-world examples and experiments, Kahneman demonstrates how these biases impact everything from personal finance to professional judgment. This episode offers actionable insights on recognizing and counteracting these biases by engaging System 2 for improved decision-making, helping you navigate life’s complexities with greater awareness and precision.
