Stop Making Bad Choices: The Science of Fast & Slow Thinking

Why do we make irrational decisions—even when we think we're being completely logical? In his landmark research, Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman revealed that our brains rely on two distinct modes of thought: System 1, the fast, automatic, and intuitive mind, and System 2, the slow, effortful, and analytical mind. While System 1 keeps us efficient, it also opens the door to cognitive shortcuts, invisible priming effects, and systematic bias. In this video, we break down how these dual systems shape your everyday choices, why your brain swaps hard questions for easy ones, and how building a better vocabulary around cognitive biases can help you make smarter decisions.
