Over Thinking, Fast and Slow : Thinking, Fast and Slow identificeert twee denksystemen, aangeduid als Systeem 1 en Systeem 2, die bepalen hoe we informatie verwerken en beslissingen nemen. Dit zijn respectievelijk de snelle en trage uit de titel, en zij werken met elkaar samen om ons te helpen keuzes te maken. Het boek onderzoekt ook de vooroordelen en denkfouten die mensen ertoe brengen irrationeel te handelen, geïllustreerd met case studies en voorbeelden uit de praktijk. Over Daniel Kahneman : Daniel Kahneman is een Israëlisch-Amerikaanse psycholoog en econoom. Hij is vooral bekend om zijn langdurige samenwerking met de psycholoog Amos Tversky, met wie hij het onderzoek naar besluitvorming uitvoerde dat hem in 2002 de Nobelprijs voor economische wetenschappen opleverde. Zijn onderzoek, in het bijzonder zijn samenwerking door de jaren heen met Richard Thaler, de Nobelprijswinnaar van 2017, heeft een belangrijke rol gespeeld bij de oprichting van het vakgebied van de gedragseconomie.
