Who can resist the allure of ancient Egypt -- and the thrill of uncovering mysteries that have lain hidden for thousands of years?

System 1 operates quickly, intuitively, and emotionally; System 2 works slowly, deliberately, and logically. Overconfidence skews corporate strategy, happiness predictions fall short, and cognitive biases affect everything from investing to holiday planning—all phenomena understandable only when you grasp how these dual systems influence judgment and decision making. Through engaging dialogue about human thought processes, Kahneman illuminates which situations warrant trusting intuition versus skepticism, while also revealing ways to harness the power of deliberate reasoning. Offering insightful advice for everyday life, he explores how people navigate their professional and personal worlds using various tactics to avoid common pitfalls that lead to poor outcomes.
