When
Theme: Fast and Slow Thinking − The Human Factor in a Rapidly Changing World
The human mind is a complex organ within the body. Some have called the mind the most complex structure in the universe, and it guides our actions and decisions. It is not surprising that our decision-making process also is complex. Numerous studies over the past few decades have shown that the way we think can be separated into two systems: System 1 is fast and intuitive, while System 2 is slower, deliberative, and logical (Kahneman, 2011). Most importantly, the decision-making process is strongly influenced by which system is used. System 1 thinking is our default and often leads to overconfidence and bias, resulting in poorer decisions. Better decisions are made using System 2, but conscious effort is required to activate it.
This meeting will include a variety of talks on mental health issues and professional and personal development to assist in tackling upcoming challenges and adapt to this ever-changing world.
