by Maria Popova Beneath the biases of intuition, or how your experiencing self and your remembering self shape your life. Legendary Israeli-American psychologist Daniel Kahneman is one of the most influential thinkers of our time. A Nobel laureate and founding father of modern behavioral economics, his work has shaped how we think about human error, risk, judgement, decision-making, happiness, and more. For the past half-century, he has profoundly impacted the academy and the C-suite, but it wasn’t until this month’s highly anticipated release of his “intellectual memoir,” Thinking, Fast and Slow , that Kahneman’s extraordinary contribution to humanity’s cerebral growth reached the mainstream — in the best way possible. Absorbingly articulate and infinitely intelligent, Kahneman examines what he calls the machinery of the mind — the dual processor of the brain, divided into two distinct systems that dictate how we think and make decisions. http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2011/10/26/thinking-fast-and-slow-daniel-kahneman/
