"In the next few minutes, you will learn how to penetrate your automatic and unconscious mind and reveal its intentions. Here's how. Your brain has two gears, and one of them runs the lion's share of your life. The exact figure is debated, but the great majority of your mental activity happens automatically, outside your awareness, by a wide margin. Daniel Kahneman's dual process theory breaks these gears into two systems. System one is fast, automatic, unconscious, impulsive, emotionally charged, and is always running. System two is your slow, lazy, deliberate, analytical thinker and planner. Here's why that matters. System one pitches a feeling as a fact, and interventionist system two, once trained, and you'll be learning these techniques in just a moment, hits it with three immediate questions. Is it true? What is the empirical evidence to warrant this hunch? And is acting on it helpful to me, my goals, and my values?"
