Nobel prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman, states that the human mind is divided into two types of thinking: System 1 and System 2.

▪️ “System 1 operates automatically and quickly. It is often driven by instinct and intuition.
▫️ System 2, on the other hand, is more thoughtful and analytical and addresses effortful mental activities.”

Now, attention!
