Thinking, Fast and Slow
by Daniel Kahneman
Psychology
TL;DR
Alright, peep this: Your brain's got two chaotic roommates. One's a speedy, dumbass hype beast (System 1) who goes with his gut on everything. The other's a lazy, slightly smarter sloth (System 2) who could think things through but usually just nods along. This book is the tea on how these two mess you up, making you bad with risks, stupid with money, and clueless about why you do dumb shit. It spills the secrets on their mental hacks (heuristics) and glitches (biases) so you can maybe, just maybe, catch yourself before you full-send into disaster. Won't fix you, but hey, at least you'll know why you're being peak cringe.
