by Daniel Kahneman (2011)
In the international bestseller, Daniel Kahneman, the renowned psychologist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think: System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical.
Richard H. Thaler, Cass R. Sunstein
Every day we make choices—about what to buy or eat, about financial investments, our health, and our children’s education. Unfortunately, we often make poor choices. Thaler and Sunstein show that by understanding how people think, we can design choice environments that make it easier for people to choose what is best for themselves.
Susan Cain
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. Susan Cain passionately argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so.
