Thinking, Fast and Slow
Daniel Kahneman
Thinking, Fast and Slow is a 2011 popular science book by the Israeli-American psychologist Daniel Kahneman. Its main thesis is a differentiation between two modes of thought: "System 1" is fast, instinctive and emotional; "System 2" is slower, more deliberative, and more logical.

Vivek’s Notes
Its central thesis is that our brains split thought into two modes: System 1, instinctive and emotional, and System 2, deliberative and logical. It delineates the rational and non-rational triggers behind each, and how they complement each other, starting with Kahneman's own research on loss aversion.
