Thinking, Fast and Slow
By Daniel Kahneman
Kahneman contrasts rapid, intuitive judgement with more deliberate reasoning. This is a useful model for noticing where a first impression may outrun the evidence. Slower thought can also go wrong; taking more time does not automatically make an answer correct.
Try it in ordinary life
Before a non-urgent decision, write your first answer, the evidence behind it, and one fact that would change your mind.
A thought to take away
Are you responding to what happened, or to the story you attached to it?
