Sigmund Freud has
sculpted a glorious theory of conscious and unconscious mind almost a century
ago. Up to this day it is still one of the most important achievements in psychological
studies.
I have discovered that
Daniel Kahneman offers a new detailed and insightful approach to this theory in
his book “Thinking, fast and slow”. He introduces a reader to two main stars of
the book: System 1 and System 2.
System 1 is the
impulsive side of our mind, one that acts quickly and does not require any
effort. On the other hand, System 2 is slow, effortful and analytical. Kahneman
explains the interaction between the two and the way they operate in great
detail. Although he uses scientific terms, the book is easy to read as they are
explained in advance.
It is a fascinating
book for anyone interested in why we think the way we do.
