Kahneman introduces two systems of thought that govern our thinking and behavior: System 1 , which operates automatically and quickly, with little effort or conscious control—our gut instincts and first impressions and System 2 , which allocates attention to effortful mental activities, including logic, calculation, and self-control. With remarkable clarity, Kahneman demonstrates how these two systems interact to shape our perceptions, decisions, and actions.
