Reading Thinking, Fast and Slow — And Thinking About My Own Pages Too

Lately, I’ve been deep into Thinking, Fast and Slow — the kind of book that doesn’t just sit in your hands, it sits in your thoughts long after you close it. Each chapter feels like a quiet mirror, reflecting the way my mind rushes, pauses, hesitates, and decides.

What’s striking is how much the book reminds me of thinking and  Pushing Past Pause. It’s almost like reading a scientific explanation of the exact mental tug-of-war I wrote about: that moment between wanting to move and holding yourself still… and the small inner push that gets you going again.

Where Daniel Kahneman breaks it down into System 1 and System 2, I talk about the everyday version — the pause we live in, and the steady courage it takes to break it. It’s the same internal machine, just two different lenses. His is research; mine is life lived.

The Perspective I’m Getting Right Now

What I’m realizing as I turn each page is simple:
Thinking fast can push you forward, but thinking slow helps you stay forward.

Fast thinking gets the idea moving.
Slow thinking gives it direction.

And somewhere in between is where my book connects — that place where hesitation meets action, and you choose to move anyway.

That’s the entire heartbeat of Pushing Past Pause: noticing your inner signal, choosing clarity over confusion, and proving to yourself that progress doesn’t always come in a rush… sometimes it comes in a steady lean forward.


Reading this book is sharpening my awareness of how I act in those small daily moments — the ones that seem forgettable but shape everything. It makes me ask:

Am I hesitating out of fear, or am I pausing with purpose?
Am I reacting, or am I responding?

Questions like that have a way of changing how I move through a day.

And if you’ve been following my reflections, you know I always come back to the same truth: momentum is personal. You can build it at any moment.

If You Enjoy These Reflections…
  Stick around  so you never miss a thing

Until next time — keep thinking, keep moving, and keep leaning forward.
