Episode 13 - Thinking, Fast and Slow (Part 1): The Two Systems

We begin our multi-part journey into the human mind with Daniel Kahneman's Nobel Prize-winning work, Thinking, Fast and Slow. In this first episode, our hosts introduce the book's central, groundbreaking concept: the two systems that drive our thinking. The conversation explores "System 1," our fast, intuitive, and emotional brain, and "System 2," our slow, deliberate, and logical brain. We analyze the interplay between these two systems and how their division of labor creates both the marvels and the flaws of human judgment. This episode is a foundational guide to the mental machinery that governs our decisions in business and in life, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of our cognitive biases.
