The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds

This book was very fascinating. It was interesting to read about such a cool collaboration between these two researchers. So many things Danny and Amos researched feel like such a no brainer now, even though there's still a lot of ways for their findings to disrupt industries these days.

So far Michael Lewis' books have really shined a light on very interesting subjects.

This book was a long time coming, and it was definitely worth the wait. The work of Kahneman and Tversky sits just under the surface of all my favorite Michael Lewis books. Moneyball in particular left me wondering about the systematic biases in human thought, and soon enough I ended up in front of a copy of “Thinking Fast and Slow.” I was floored by what I read. I had always considered psychology a “soft science,” incapable of making real predictions about reality. The catalog of biases that K&T described cut right through my disbelief as I fell for each of their cleverly constructed cognitive illusions. Michael Lewis puts the story of these scientists into a package that is informative and engrossing, I would highly recommend it to anyone

I've enjoyed books by Michael Lewis and plan to read others, but this one could not hold my attention.

Chapters 1, 8, and 9 were engaging but the remaining chapters seemed to drag on without making progress toward key concepts.

When it did touch on some of Kahneman and Tversky's ideas, it seemed forced. “Buying insurance is, strictly speaking, a stupid bet.” “Gamblers accept bets with negative expected values” (which is understood by many to be risky, not rational). “Back when a ducat was a ducat.”

I had high hopes for this book but I think I would have benefited from reading Kahneman and Tversky's works directly instead.
