Features: This book extensively employs the theories and perspectives of Daniel Kahneman, the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences laureate, as well as numerous research cases from economists, psychologists, clinical doctors, and government agencies, to explore the ways of human thinking and the factors that influence thinking and decision-making. Thinking styles are influenced by cultural factors and others. Thinking can be good or bad; good thinking, i.e., rational thinking, guides us to make correct decisions to achieve goals. The characteristics of bad thinking are too little thinking, and the real danger lies in acting with unwarranted confidence without proper thought. Our unverified beliefs and conclusions hastily drawn by others are not sufficient reasons for our actions.
