The undoing project (A true story) by Michael Lewis
Book Overview
In The Undoing Project, Michael Lewis tells the story of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, whose collaborative research challenged traditional assumptions about rational thinking.
Their work revealed that humans are often influenced by cognitive biases and systematic errors in judgment, leading to decisions that deviate from logic and probability. These insights laid the foundation for the field of behavioral economics and influenced areas ranging from business and policy to everyday life.
Blending biography, psychology, and storytelling, Lewis captures both the intellectual breakthroughs and the deep personal bond between Kahneman and Tversky. The book makes complex ideas accessible while highlighting the human side of scientific discovery.
