Hello and Welcome!
Although inextricably associated with the internet - a known adversary of books, libraries and the kind - this blog is a place to talk about the books we're reading and the ideas they inspire.

Amazon.com: Thinking, Fast and Slow (9780374275631): Daniel Kahneman: Books
Although I am only 7 chapters in, I am already confident that this book will change the way I think about thinking (I think that's what the author had in mind). I have found that segments of this book apply to every class I am taking this semester. Most of the time I get frustrated and wish my professors would read this book this. They often approach topics using System 1 and, as this book suggests, their approach is flawed.
Question for the club: If I were to make a presentation based off of this book to give in a leadership workshop, what are some key topics that I should highlight?
