The Battle in Your Mind
Description
As a species, we like to think we are smart, creatures of reason, capable of making rational decisions. But we may have to think again. With every decision you take, there is a battle in your mind - a battle between intuition and logic. And the intuitive part of your mind is a lot more powerful than you may think. This conflict affects every aspect of your life - your diet, your habits, your beliefs. In this Horizon program, Professor Danny Kahneman explains the revolution in our understanding of the human mind.
