I recently read this book, “Thinking fast and slow”. I did not finish it but still learned some valuable things about our two thinking systems.
Our intuitive system of thinking is fast, it associates ideas at a lightning fast speed, which is useful but it also leads to biases if we don’t keep a watchful eye on how we make quick judgments. Our critical thinking system is slow but it can give an accurate picture of the scene and help us make an objectively better judgement where most people would fall in trap.
Knowing when to trust intuition(fast thinking) and when to use critical eye (slow thinking) is a good practice to do regularly.. Here are 5 very useful ideas that I learned about how we think and make judgements.
