The Undoing Project - A Friendship that Changed the World

Michael Lewis

Summary

Michael Lewis's narrative explores the profound collaboration between Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, whose partnership revolutionized the understanding of human decision-making. "The Undoing Project" chronicles not only their personal friendship but also the development of groundbreaking ideas that challenged the prevailing models of rationality in economics and psychology. By delving into their experiments and the real-world implications of their work, the book provides a rich account of how cognitive biases shape choices, influencing fields far beyond psychology.

  • Cognitive biases systematically distort human judgment, countering the assumption of rational decision-making.
