Preview
Daniel Kahneman's research on System 1 and System 2 thinking shows we default to fast, intuitive judgments. That works until the stakes rise or everyone in the room shares the same first answer from the same AI prompt.
This workbook builds slower, better thinking habits: VERIFY for decisions, a decision journal for patterns, and Paul and Elder's intellectual standards as a quality rubric.
Built on research from Daniel Kahneman, Gary Klein and Daniel Kahneman, Richard Paul and Linda Elder, and Foundation for Critical Thinking.
