Daniel Kahneman - Psychologist

Daniel Kahneman is a renowned psychologist known for his work on decision-making and cognitive biases. He explored how humans think and make choices, distinguishing between two modes of thinking: fast, intuitive processes and slow, deliberate reasoning. Kahneman’s research, particularly in collaboration with Amos Tversky, earned him the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economics, highlighting how irrationality often influences economic decisions. His book, "Thinking, Fast and Slow," outlines these concepts, revealing how our mental shortcuts can lead to errors in judgment. Kahneman's insights have profoundly impacted psychology, economics, and behavioral science.
