SUMMARY - Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.

*As you read this summary, you will learn what the author understood from the many experiences he had with the way we think and make decisions. He carried out these experiments with the help of psychologists and economists.

*You will also discover : that the result of these analyses has made it possible to determine two systems of thought; that intuition and reflection are two separate functions; that very often we act without thinking and that the decisions we make "without thinking" are not necessarily bad; that the optimism inherent in human nature leads us towards capitalism; that decision-making involves both systems of thought.

*The purpose of this book is to distinguish between intuition and reflection, the "two speeds of thought" that Daniel Kahneman calls System 1 (intuition) and System 2 (reflection).

*Without going so far as to say that Man has two brains, he details, with the help of his experiences, the capital differences of these two ways of thinking and shows that these two systems can sometimes be in competition but also prove to be complementary. Daniel Kahneman specifies that most of his research was done with Amos Tversky, an Israeli psychologist who has since passed away.

*Other psychologists call this "Fast Thinking" (intuition) and "Slow Thinking" (reflection) but the author prefers to call the two systems because their processes are very different. It is these two systems that will be analyzed in this book. His experiments do not necessarily follow a logic of sequence and do not necessarily have links between them.
