Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman
What
was the general theme or argument of the book?
The
general theme of this book is understanding cognitive information and learning
about how your brain processes information and scenarios. In the brain there
are two halves of the brain and the two halves need to work together, no matter
the pace to make decisions. Understanding how your brain operates helps you comprehend
how you act and where your decisions sprout from.
How
did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you
are learning in ENT3003?
The
way that this book relates to me is that it explains how your actions are
determined on how your brain processes scenarios. Sometimes you think about
things, but then don’t follow them with actions, but sometimes it is good to
take a risk and go after an opportunity that you think might be promising. I
could utilize this more often.
If you had to design an exercise
for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?
The
students would be presented with multiple different difficult situations and
think of five different solutions and then share to see how other people
decipher these problems.
What was your
biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In
other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?
The
biggest aha moment I had during this book is when they stated that there are
truly a lot of serious issues with society that we don’t really realize
sometime because we are just used to things being like that and we never think
to make any sort of change about it.
