Sandra Strange's Reviews > Thinking, Fast and Slow

This one was rough going: I skimmed the last half. It covers a lot of the same brain territory as others. It contrasts the two ways in which we make decisions: quick based on comfortable patterns and slow weighing or computing decisions. Much of the book reviews the various ways in which we make decisions in erroneous ways, trusting too much to our automatic system, trusting our assumptions, influenced by our environment, media, whatever we have been exposed to. Our brains can be deceived easily. Once you've read this one, you'll never trust snap judgments, and probably not well considered ones, again.
