ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Undoing Project" by Michael Lewis explores the collaborative relationship between psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, two brilliant minds who revolutionized the field of behavioral economics. The book delves into their contrasting personalities and approaches to research, highlighting how their individual differences fueled their groundbreaking discoveries about human judgment and decision-making. The narrative traces their journey from their early years in Israel to their influential work in the United States, revealing how their joint efforts exposed the systematic errors and biases in human thinking. It examines the various heuristics and biases that affect decision-making, such as representativeness, availability, and anchoring, and explores how people often deviate from rational thought. The book explores how these psychological insights challenged existing economic theories, and had an impact on fields beyond academia.
