"People who speak with an upper-class British accent don't have large tattoos down their back," Kahneman says. Kahneman says one of his favorite examples of System 1 thinking is what happens when you hear an upper-class British voice say, "I have large tattoos all down my back." Kahneman tells NPR's Robert Siegel about the two systems that make up what he calls "the machinery of the mind:" System 1 - or fast - and System 2 - or slow - thinking. Kahneman's field is the psychology of decision-making, and that's the topic of his new book, Thinking, Fast and Slow. In 2002, Daniel Kahneman won a Nobel Prize in economics - but he isn't an economist. Auguste Rodin's The Thinker, shown outside the Detroit Institute of Arts, depicts a man engaged in what Daniel Kahneman might describe as System 2 - or slow, deliberative - thinking.
