Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

5.0

It enabled multiple perspectives & as part of a school assignment, I also gained a load of knowledge on reasons why & how people think. It may sound a little crazy but I did enjoy that there were little quizzes to try through each chapters.

The interaction definitely helped me to be conscious about my choices & in some ways I felt like I understand myself & the people I interact with better.
