Author reading: Daniel Kahneman Nobel winner Daniel Kahneman's focus is not on what we think, but how and why. "When you are asked what you are thinking about," he writes in Thinking Fast and Slow, "you can normally answer. You believe you know what goes on in your mind, which often consists of one conscious thought leading in an orderly way to another. But that is not the only way the mind works, nod indeed is that the typical way." More often that not, argues Kahneman, the thoughts we can put a name to are the product of processes that we never think about. "The mental work that produces impressions, intuitions, and many decisions goes on in silence in our mind." Move over, Jack Handy, Kahneman's thoughts are even deeper than yours.
