Daniel Kahneman is a renowned psychologist known for his work in the fields of psychology and behavioral economics. Born in 1934 in Tel Aviv, he gained significant recognition for his research on decision-making and cognitive biases. His groundbreaking book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, explores the dual systems of thought: the fast, intuitive system and the slower, more deliberate one.
In 2002, Kahneman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to understanding how psychological factors influence economic decision-making. His work has had a profound impact on various fields, including economics, public policy, and psychology, shaping how we understand human behavior.
