see outlines where the thinking fast really gets you into trouble, but it also in many,
many situations where it gets you out of trouble, where thinking slow would not. There's not a simple panacea here.
To be honest, I think actually what helps you more is common sense. The problem is that
common sense isn't very common—to use the old phrase. Lots of the time, people cling
to their hopes, and their wishes, and their dreams. They think that without putting much
effort in, these things will somehow come true. That's often underlying a lot of actual
belief in the paranormal and a lot of the self-help literature as well.
If psychology tells us anything, it's for the most part, success is associated with hard work.
In terms of every day thinking, I would say you've got to put the time in. There's no shortcuts here.
