7 Psychology books to understand Human Mind and Behavior:

A comprehensive look at human behavior through biology, examining what drives our actions from milliseconds before a decision (brain chemistry) to millennia ago (evolutionary pressures).
2) Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
The book explores the dual systems of thought that drive decision-making: System 1 (fast, intuitive, emotional) and System 2 (slow, deliberate, logical).
It reveals how biases, heuristics, and overconfidence often lead to flawed judgments, even when we think we’re being rational.
