Reading Notes

Back to main page

I started reading not long ago, tbh, there isnt much I can say about my reading yet.
when I went to buy a book, I literally just took the first one I picked up.
I chose "Thinking, Fast and Slow", by Daniel Kahneman. Its a book about psychology and thinking patterns. The book is very interesting.

Here is how the book cover looks:

Book cover

The book author wrote the book because he want us to become better problem diagnosticians, by enriching our understanding of judgment and decision making.
The author follow one big concept in the book, the two-systems approach to judment and choise.
The two system concept is talking about how we have to patterns of thinking: fast and shallow thinking, slow and rich thinking.

The author calls them system 1 and system 2
"system 1 operates automatically and quickly, with little or no effort and no sence of voluntary control.
system 2 allocates attention to the effortful mental activities that demand it, including complex computantions. The operations of system 2 are often associated with the subjective experience of agency, choice and concentration."
