Daniel Kahneman is the author of "Thinking, Fast and Slow," a groundbreaking book that delves into the dual-process model of the brain. The book explores the dichotomy between two modes of thought: System 1, which is fast, automatic, and intuitive, and System 2, which is slow, deliberate, and analytical. Kahneman, a Nobel laureate in Economic Sciences, provides insights into how these two systems shape our judgments and decisions, highlighting the cognitive biases and heuristics that influence human behavior.
