Thinking is shaped by personal experiences and memories, making it inherently biased. Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky's research identified patterns in decision-making known as biases and heuristics. Examples include confirmation bias and various heuristics related to pricing and attractiveness. The assumption that people are rational decision-makers is challenged, suggesting that understanding human thought requires recognizing the biases that influence judgments and decisions. The concept of people as controllers in decision-making is often overlooked in this field.
