Daniel Kahneman, a pioneering psychologist and Nobel laureate, has transformed our understanding of how the human mind works. Born in Tel Aviv in 1934, Kahneman’s early experiences shaped a lifelong curiosity about decision-making under uncertainty. He began his career in psychology after moving to the United States, where he joined forces with his longtime collaborator, Amos Tversky. Together, they unveiled the surprising ways in which intuition and biases shape our choices, laying the groundwork for the field of behavioral economics. Kahneman’s remarkable insights are most famously captured in his bestseller, *Thinking, Fast and Slow,* where he explores the dual-system framework of thought: the quick, instinctive “System 1” and the slower, more deliberate “System 2.” His work earned him the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, a rare honor for a psychologist. Kahneman has influenced diverse fields—from business to public policy—and continues to inspire new generations to question how and why we think the way we do. With clarity and depth, Kahneman invites us to see ourselves—and our minds—with fresh eyes.
