Thinking, Fast and Slow

Notes & highlights

• System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional. System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical.
• We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and underestimate the role of chance.
• Nothing in life is as important as you think it is when you are thinking about it.
• The confidence people have in their beliefs is not a measure of the quality of evidence.
