Daniel Kahneman is an Israeli-American psychologist and economist renowned for his work on the psychology of judgment and decision-making, as well as behavioral economics. He was awarded the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for his pioneering work with Amos Tversky on prospect theory, which investigates how people manage risk and uncertainty. His widely acclaimed book "Thinking, Fast and Slow," published in 2011, delves into the dual systems of thought—the fast, intuitive, and emotional System 1, and the slower, more deliberative, and logical System 2—and the impact they have on our decisions. Kahneman's work has had a profound influence on various fields including economics, medicine, and public policy.
