1. The theme of the book “Thinking Fast and Slow” is a book
that focuses about how the mind works and how the operations of our mind dictates
decisions, choices, and way of how we do things. System 1 is fast thinking and
is mainly a form of automatic thinking and doing that requires little to no
effort. System 2 is slow thinking and is the part of the mind that focuses on
the processing of complex logic, operations, and activities. Also, there are
the downfalls of how humans think, and how those downfalls can influence thinking.
2. I believe it has
connected with what I’ve learned in ENT 3003 because of the way you must think,
plan, and rationalize how you want your business to come alive, and survive.
The amount of thought and planning to not only have a business idea, but a good
business idea is perplexing. A lot of the assignments have required a lot of
thought in order to find a business idea, but to also think about problems.
Such as the Bug List, it wasn’t until I thought about past experiences that I’ve
had that made me realize there are a lot of problems which have a potential
solution.
3. The exercise I would have would probably be a series of
logic puzzles, or riddles that people had to figure out, and then analyze the
thought process behind how you got there.
4. I really learned how the mind worked in this book. It
wasn’t a narrative book, but very informative in that there are a lot of
examples of how the mind processes different types of information. There were
also some aha moments in that some of these same thought processes have come up
in my management class, so the correlation was cool to see how this really does
affect everyone.
Hey Raul,
ReplyDeleteI did not read "Thinking Fast and Slow" but just by reading your analysis on the book inspires me to read it. I find that our mindset is truly powerful and is the absolute driving force of everything we do, it separates winners from losers. I do like the exercise that you mentioned of puzzles or riddles to figure out as the thought process is one of the most important aspects of how we go about conducting our day to day activities.
Overall, great post!
I did not read "Thinking Fast and Slow", but it definitely sounds interesting. It is fascinating to read that the brain has a fast system and a slow system to analyze the world, which makes sense in a way to be able to understand everything. In this day and age, more things seem to be moving into the fast category than slow as the world moves so fast and especially if one wants to start a business they must be quick to think as well.
ReplyDeleteI did not read this book but now I may have to. Understanding how humans think is very important not only for yourself but also for understanding your customers. Understanding how a customer processes thinks both "fast" and "slow" and figuring out where your product falls on that spectrum is very important for figuring out how to sell it to them. Great review!
