Dans cet ouvrage de synthèse, fruit de toute une vie de recherche aux confins de la psychologie et de l’économie, le prix Nobel Daniel Kahneman nous emmène à la rencontre des deux "personnages" qui se partagent notre esprit, régissant notre façon de penser et de prendre des décisions. Le "Système 1" est rapide, intuitif et émotionnel ; le "Système 2" est plus lent, plus réfléchi, plus contrôlé et plus logique.

The search for success - oh, how daunting it often is. We all want it, but we do not all know how to attain it. Every day, we are bombarded with standards of success we believe apply to us. However, success is not a one-size-fits-all garment. Success is not something we can simply shop and wear. No, success is scalable, completely variable depending on the person pursuing it. Most importantly, success is something we must keenly focus on attaining in alignment with our own personal goals and genuine interests in life.

A decade ago, developers built information-sharing software by writing a lot of custom code in a single code base, then adding layers of caching. Now we build information systems: interdependent software and services, data platforms, and event streams. Many of our software-to-systems initiatives fail, though, and when they do, we double down on traditional linear approaches. But linear thinking cannot resolve systems challenges. We need to shift to systems thinking.
