“Mood evidently affects the operation of System 1: when we are uncomfortable and unhappy, we lose touch with our intuition. These findings add to the growing evidence that good mood, intuition, creativity, gullibility, and increased reliance on System 1 form a cluster. At the other pole, sadness, vigilance, suspicion, an analytic approach, and increased effort also go together. A happy mood loosens the control of System 2 over performance: when in a good mood, people become more intuitive and more creative but also less vigilant and more prone to logical errors.”
Quote by Daniel Kahneman

Thinking, Fast and Slow
This book delves into the intricacies of human cognition, examining how we make decisions and perceive the world. It contrasts two systems of thought: System 1, which operates automatically and quickly, with little or no effort, and System 2, which allocates attention to effortful mental activities, including complex computations. The author, Daniel Kahneman, a renowned psychologist, provides insights into biases, heuristics, and the role of chance in decision-making. more
