Daniel Kahneman gives a Talks at Google lecture based on his book Thinking, Fast and Slow. He lays out the two modes of thought, a fast intuitive System 1 and a slow deliberate System 2, and how they produce predictable judgment errors and biases.

HN people recommend it as the quick way to get the core of the book's first chapters from the author himself.

“Kahneman's talk at Google summarized the first 2 chapters pretty well”

I believe the bit about priming was refuted in some repro attempts. If you're short on time, watch Kahneman's talk at Google, which basically summarizes the first chapter or so. ▶ this video

Kahneman's talk at Google summarized the first 2 chapters pretty well: ▶ this video I strongly recommend it for anyone who doesn't have time to read the book. As for the book itself, I agree with some others' postings here -- it's absolutely fantastic. It changed the way I think about human cognition and education... not to mention machine learning, politics, and marketing.

Warning from Daniel Kahneman on "System 1" and "System 2". [1] > I'm going to use "System 1" and "System 2", absolutely as homunculi. [...] They don't exist. [...] Don't look for them in the brain, because they are not two systems in the brain, of which one does one, and the other does the other. So why am I using this terrible language? I'm using it because I think it's helpful. It fits the way our minds work, and to explain the background of that decision--of why I use "System 1" and "System 2"--I refer you to a very good book. [...] It's by Joshua Foer and it's called "Moonwalking with Einstein". [2] [1] ▶ this video [2] link The article does put these terms in quotes.
