The answer lies in the two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking. Why do we assume a good-looking person will be more competent? Why are judges more likely to deny parole before lunch? Why is there more chance we'll believe something if it's in a bold type face?

Drawing on a lifetime’s experimental experience, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking.
