Daniel Kahneman is a renowned psychologist and economist, awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2002 for his groundbreaking work on decision-making under uncertainty. He is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology Emeritus at Princeton University and a fellow of the Center for Rationality at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Kahneman's research, often conducted with his longtime collaborator Amos Tversky, challenged traditional economic theories by demonstrating how cognitive biases influence human judgment. His bestselling book "Thinking, Fast and Slow" (2011) synthesizes decades of research, offering insights into the dual systems that drive our thinking: the fast, intuitive System 1 and the slower, more deliberate System 2. Born in Tel Aviv in 1934, Kahneman spent his childhood in Paris before returning to Israel. He has made seminal contributions to various fields, including behavioral economics, cognitive psychology, and hedonic psychology. Kahneman currently resides in New York City, where he continues to influence academic and popular understanding of human decision-making processes.
