The Psychology and Personal Growth Circle: Thinking, Fast and Slow

Welcome to our cozy The Psychology and Personal Growth Circle which is part of the Social Book Club!

We will meet to discuss the book “Thinking, Fast and Slow" (499 pages) written by Daniel Kahneman.
The idea is to connect with like minded readers that love to grow and get to know themselves better through reading and especially applying knowledge from books.

We meet up once a month and talk about our progress applying knowledge from a certain book and our experience.

The event will take place at the volunteer organisation MUT.
It is an organisation to supports humans, animals and the environment especially in Vienna.

MUT or the Social Book Club look forward to some donation to cover the cost of this event.
If you would like to help, please bring some cash with you.

Book Description:

In the highly anticipated Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical.
Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities—and also the faults and biases—of fast thinking, and reveals the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behavior. The impact of loss aversion and overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the challenges of properly framing risks at work and at home, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning the next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems work together to shape our judgments and decisions.

If anyone would like to hang out after the book club discussion, you’re more than welcome to join us! We’ll be having a picnic and just relaxing afterward.

All the best
