    System 1 is the automatic response or kneejerk reaction. System 2, on the other hand, involves concentration and deliberation.
  • Nick Voroninhas quoted10 years ago
    The major theme of Thinking, Fast and Slow nbsp;is that our brains are divided into System 1 and System 2. System 1 houses our emotion and intuition, and it processes information and makes decisions automatically. System 2 nbsp;describes the part of the brain that gets wrapped up in rationalization and concentration and value-based judgments. While System 2 saves us from many of the otherwise unchecked kneejerk idiocies of System 1, its decision-making capacity is more limited than we often think.
  • Nick Voroninhas quoted10 years ago
    people tend to be more driven by fear of failure than by the promise of success.
  • Nick Voroninhas quoted10 years ago
    In their study of decision making related to gambling, Kahneman and Tversky found that people tended to overvalue small risk, again showing that people make calculations and conclusions that are not aligned with probability. Decision weights nbsp;simply measure a person’s likelihood to take a risk.
