Daniel Kahneman - 2011-10-25
Goodreads Rating
Explore the inner workings of the mind in this groundbreaking book that explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, emotional, and intuitive while System 2 is slower, more analytical, and logical. Discover the benefits and drawbacks of both systems and learn how to tap into the benefits of slow thinking. With practical insights into decision-making in both our personal and professional lives, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to guard against mental pitfalls and gain a deeper understanding of the way we think.

Goodreads Rating
This novel captures the end of the American century and its broken promises of prosperity and domestic bliss. Follow Swede Levov, an icon in his community whose American dream shatters when his daughter becomes involved in an act of political terrorism. Roth's profound empathy and masterful storytelling make this a must-read.
