Creating an Environment for Clear Thinking

Daniel Kahneman emphasizes the importance of creating an environment that is conducive to clear thinking. While there's no simple story about the impact of the physical environment on decision-making, certain factors like temperature, noise, and color can affect cognitive performance. However, what truly impedes clear thinking are our intuitive views and emotions. We often rely on ready-made judgments and beliefs without engaging in critical thinking. Emotions, biases, and the influence of trusted individuals can also cloud our judgment. While clear thinking may be elusive, developing the ability to delay intuition and critically evaluate different dimensions of a decision can lead to better judgment.
