Well all of us have some bad habits that we want to break. This book acts as a panacea by laying down a structured approach for building good habits.

The author lays down a four-step approach accompanied by a lot of examples with which we can very well correlate.

The books highlight the importance of small improvements which it refers to as the Compound effect. Though immediate impact might not be noticeable, it may fetch you extraordinary results in the long run.

One of my favourite quote from the book is:
"Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity."

In his groundbreaking book, Kahneman starts by giving a synthesis of experimental psychology and some of the seminal results of the past 40 years of the impressive history of the field.

Then he moves on to show how our thinking is prone to behavioural fallacies, and how they can be exploited.

He introduces the concept of two thinking systems (see the picture attached in the comment below):

System 1️
operates automatically, intuitively and emotionally with little or no voluntary control. It is a machine for jumping to conclusions 'What You See Is All There Is' that is based on the readily available, often misleading information, and ends in believing in them fervently.

As a result, halo effects, confirmation bias, framing effects etc. adversely shape our evaluation and decision making unless balanced deliberately with:

System 2
allocates attention to the effortful, logical mental activities.

Great read on how to tap into the techniques and benefits of slow thinking!
