- sombremesa 9y agoWhat do you do differently since reading the book?
- j-collier 9y agoAs mentioned above, I've found myself noticing when other people are engaging their system 1 response instead of their system 2 and allow and encourage opportunities for system 2 results to arise in conversations and conflicts. It's been really productive in that way.
- kup0 9y agoThis sounds like a really interesting read. System 1 and System 2 remind me somewhat of the Buddhist/mindfulness/whatever idea of "the watched" and "the watcher". Where 1 is instinctual, reactive, emotional (aka "autopilot") and 2 is awareness part of the mind that says "I notice instinct/emotion X" and considers one's current state before acting.
- epberry 9y agoI found this book fascinating but after a while it just started to feel like a review of psychology research and a list of example after example and it eventually became boring and I didn’t finish it. I also think more recent research has called into question some of the claims it makes. That said, the concept of two systems and recognizing when system 1 is in action has stayed with me.
