In the 38th chapter, Thinking about life, Kahneman assesses the overall quality of life relative to specific factors. In the case of marriage, this is expected to make people happier, yet their life satisfaction decreases in the years after the marriage, comparative to the actual year of marriage. This reveals the initial expectation at the level of the first system of thought, and the reality assessed at the second level of thought.
In the concluding chapter, author Daniel Kahneman (2012) reviews his insertions of the two thinking systems within the psychological field; he also addressed and reviews the concepts of the two selves and the econs and humans. The process of thought is ultimately understood as a complex combination and interaction of the two systems of thought, interaction which can sometimes be uneasy, and even conflicting.
Finally, the last two chapters of Thinking, fast and slow are presented in annex forms and they deal with additional components of the though process. In Judgment under uncertainty: heuristic biases, emphasis is placed on the element of insecurity in the process of decision making,...

Paradox: The Art of Political Decision-Making and Social Equity and Public Administration: Origins, Developments, and Applications It is safe to say that both books have what could be termed "a liberal inclination" in that both Stone and Frederickson see their theories as people-centered, with all their attendant frailties and mistakes. Ironically, Stone makes much the same critique that some conservatives would, in that trust in "rational" decision-making leads to bad
Women With Authority in a Patriarchal World In the contemporary world, the cultural and literary spheres acknowledge female interests and activities.
