      Thinking, Fast and Slow is a collection of the research Daniel Kahneman did with Amos Tversky.

      In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman covers three areas of his research: cognitive biases, prospect theory, and happiness.

      Kahneman explains in Thinking, Fast and Slow that people have two systems of thought. System 1 is the quick thinking humans do. The second system of thought presented in Thinking, Fast and Slow is referred to as System 2 and encompasses slower thought.
