Summary of the Book
The author in this book explains two ways of making choices. The first way is fast, emotional, and intuitive. The other way is slow, deliberative, and logical. By examining both these ways, Kahneman unveils the extraordinary capacities, biases of thinking fast, and various other aspects of the human mind. This is an engaging read that helps you understand your mind and how to avoid glitches while making decisions.
