The Undoing Project (book)

"The Undoing Project" by Michael Lewis explores the collaboration between psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, who revolutionized understanding of human decision-making. Their research uncovered systematic biases and heuristics—mental shortcuts—that influence our choices, often leading us away from rational judgment. The book illustrates how their insights challenged traditional economics, revealing that our decisions are shaped by subconscious factors. By highlighting their work, the book sheds light on why people often make predictable errors, impacting fields from finance to policy, and emphasizes the importance of understanding cognitive biases to improve decision-making.
