The Power of Active Thinking

In 'The Power of Active Thinking,' Ulf Lowenhav presents a practical guide to enhancing decision-making by understanding and managing inherent cognitive weaknesses. Moving beyond traditional behavioral economics, this book integrates insights from psychology, philosophy, and anthropology to reveal the underlying myths that shape our behavior. It equips individuals and organizations to employ 'System 2 thinking'—deliberate, slow, and controlled thought—to make more effective choices and steer towards their objectives.
