Thinking, Fast and Slow
Daniel Kahneman
In this book, Daniel Kahneman takes readers on a tour of the mind, explaining how the two systems of thought shape our judgments and decisions. System 1 is fast, automatic, and emotional, while System 2 is slower, effortful, and logical. Kahneman discusses the impact of cognitive biases, the difficulties of predicting future happiness, and the effects of overconfidence on corporate strategies. He offers practical insights into how to guard against mental glitches and how to benefit from slow thinking in both personal and business life. The book also explores the distinction between the 'experiencing self' and the 'remembering self' and their roles in our perception of happiness.

Top 3 Value Bombs
1. You are winning with culture if there is a lot of conversation, healthy conflict and continuous improvement day in and day out.
2. Sometime we forget that our customer satisfaction can’t be higher than our internal customers satisfaction. Employee engagement drives the customers engagement and that can get lost sometimes which is an important factor.
3. Autonomy is about empowering others and giving them your trust. The gift of autonomy is letting others speak.
