Book Recommendation

I'm about 60 pages in and it is Very interesting. Bascially covers the two different "systems" that work in our brain. "system 1" being intuitive, automatic, and impulsive. And "system 2" being slow, rational (partly though not always) and analytical but requires more effort. Take a look!

sounds interesting.

here is a google book add so you can read a extended section of the book, like the first 50 pages or so.
