Thinking Speed: Fast vs Slow

🔎Case Brief #11

👫 You and your friend disagree about something.

🎯 Your mission

Prove it.

⚡ The twist

Notice the feeling before the thought.

What You'll Learn

🧠 System 1 thinking is fast and automatic (catching a ball). System 2 thinking is slow and deliberate (solving a math problem). Here's how to do it: 1. Look carefully at the problem. What do you see? 2. Think about what you already know. Does this remind you of something? 3. Try an answer! It's totally okay to be wrong — that's how we learn. 4. Check: did it work? If not, try something else! You're building your thinking muscles. The more you practice, the stronger they get!
