Reading Reflection 3

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.
