1. Thinking Fast And Slow By Daniel Kahneman
The secret door to the decision-making center in the brain.
Let’s start by understanding how our brain makes decisions.
Every minute of life, we are deciding something. What to eat? When to sleep? What to watch on Netflix?
If we master decision-making, no one will be able to stop us from winning.
“The illusion that we understand the past fosters overconfidence in our ability to predict the future.”
Kahneman shows us the common pitfalls. The repetition of issues in the media makes us think they are what the world needs to focus on.
The true picture only comes into view when we stop to think and find out relevant statistics.
This is why we should always doubt the first thought that enters our mind.
“People tend to assess the relative importance of issues by the ease with which they are retrieved from memory — and this is largely determined by the extent of coverage in the media.”
