The ultimate guide to understand how your minds work |🍀Advanced reading (US Accent)

Hey guys,

Welcome back to MER Learning English, April’s back^^

Today we'd love to share with you a detailed summary of Thinking Fast & Slow, an amazing book of Nobel Prize winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman. This awesome book helps us to understand how our minds work. Our minds are not perfect and unexpectedly, we are somehow carrying around thinking errors. Those mind traps are influencing our daily thoughts.

We can't delete them from our brains or simply ignore them, but we can understand what are going on with our minds. Therefore, step-by-step, better decision-making will lead to better behaviors, we can gradually become more rational and thoughtful thinkers.

The summary version used in this video is written by Erik Johnson. We would send our warmest thanks to him for his generosity public share. This summary is remarkably clear, easy to understand and comprehensive.
