Drawing on cognitive science research, this book breaks down "slow thinking" into 10 progressive lessons, accompanied by 52 counterintuitive exercises. Each lesson begins with a relatable real-life scenario, then uses dialogue-based guidance to gradually reveal cognitive blind spots. Key takeaways and advanced practice questions help readers transition from intuitive reactions to rational judgments through realistic simulations. Examples span common scenarios like daily decision-making, statistics and probability, cause and effect, risk assessment, public information, and public opinion. Through these exercises, you'll discover: Why is intuition often unreliable? How can you avoid the trap of "taking things for granted"? And how does slow thinking help you arrive at clearer, more reliable answers?
