Thinking fast and slow

A while since I last wrote anything on here!

A crazy few weeks have been and gone, with poetry festivals school hols and trips across the country and abroad to see family.

I read an excellent book by the Nobel prize winner Daniel Kahnemann 'thinking fast and slow' about the mental short cuts we all make to cope with the sheer volume of information the human brain receives every second of the day.

It makes a lot of sense to me and I'm sure any GP trying to convey information regarding likelihood and risks. I'm sure it will influence my practice and I would recommend it as a good read, whatever your walk of life.
