7 deep psychological lessons you can learn from nobel laureate Khaneman
I’ve heard about that famous, bestseller book a lot of times, but never had enough courage to take it up for reading. At the beginning of the year 2024, while strolling in the aisles flanked by hundreds of thousands of books on shelves or strewn randomly on tables in a book fair, my eyes spotted it — ‘Thinking fast and slow by Daniel Khaneman’.
The urge that I couldn’t resist forced me to buy that book. I did eventually and read it thoroughly twice. I lost my strings in the first read to be honest. I still feel some gaps in my knowledge on various mind-boggling concepts, however, this book provides some useful insights on human psychology.

Khaneman explains vividly that human mind has two systems for processing information and making decisions. He termed them — System 1 and System 2. The former makes fast, automatic and intuitive thinking. When you make same and quick decisions, your system 1 is working. System 2 is required for making slow, deliberate, and analytical decisions.
2. We fear loss more than gain
