About This Quote
The title of this quote comes from the work of Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman and his book, Thinking, Fast and Slow. This means that our actions are governed by two different parts of the brain. The fast, intuitive part helps us to make quick decisions without thinking about them for too long. We make snap judgments and choose based on emotion or instinct. The slow, analytical part of the brain is responsible for gathering and processing information and using it to make decisions.
