THE NEW INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BIG SHORT AND FLASH BOYS 'A gripping account of how two psychologists reshaped the way we think ... What a story it is' Sunday Times 'You'll love it ... full of surprises and no small degree of tragedy' Tim Harford In 1969 two men met on a university campus. Their names were Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. They were different in every way. But they were both obsessed with the human mind - and both happened to be geniuses. Together, they would change the way we see the world. 'An enchanted collaboration ... During the final pages, I was blinking back tears' The New York Times 'My favourite writer full stop. Engages both heart and brain like no other' Daily Telegraph 'Brilliant, a wonderful book, a masterclass' Spectator 'Psychology's Lennon and McCartney ... Lewis is exactly the storyteller they deserve' Observer

How a Nobel Prize–winning theory of the mind altered our perception of reality. Forty years ago, Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a series of breathtakingly original studies undoing our assumptions about the decision-making process. Their papers showed the ways in which the human mind erred, systematically, when forced to make judgments in uncertain situations. Their work created the field of behavioral economics, revolutionized Big Data studies, advanced evidence-based medicine, led to a new approach to government regulation, and made much of Michael Lewis’s own work possible. Kahneman and Tversky are more responsible than anybody for the powerful trend to mistrust human intuition and defer to algorithms. The Undoing Project is about a compelling collaboration between two men who have the dimensions of great literary figures. They became heroes in the university and on the battlefield—both had important careers in the Israeli military—and their research was deeply linked to their extraordinary life experiences. Amos Tversky was a brilliant, self-confident warrior and extrovert, the center of rapt attention in any room; Kahneman, a fugitive from the Nazis in his childhood, was an introvert whose questing self-doubt was the seedbed of his ideas. They became one of the greatest partnerships in the history of science, working together so closely that they couldn’t remember whose brain originated which ideas, or who should claim credit. They flipped a coin to decide the lead authorship on the first paper they wrote, and simply alternated thereafter. This story about the workings of the human mind is explored through the personalities of two fascinating individuals so fundamentally different from each other that they seem unlikely friends or colleagues. In the process they may well have changed, for good, mankind’s view of its own mind.

Summary, Analysis & Review of Michael Lewis’s The Undoing Project by Instaread Preview: The Undoing Project: A Friendship that Changed Our Minds explores the relationship and psychological theories of two Israeli academics, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, whose ideas about human judgment and decision-making established the field of behavioral economics. The two men’s collaborative work began with an audacious premise: that humans are not rational decision-makers. Rational decision-making was the cornerstone of both the psychology of decision-making and the field of economics in the 1970s, but Kahneman and Tversky asserted that people’s judgment was swayed by their emotions, not their intellects. They tested this theory in a variety of ways, which led them to co-write a series of influential papers about judgment and how decisions are made. The sheer force of these concepts was such that, although they ran contrary to conventional wisdom, people instantly comprehended their truth. They soon became academic stars, although Tversky’s accolades came much faster… PLEASE NOTE: This is a Summary, Analysis & Review of the book and NOT the original book.

Don't miss this summary of Michael Lewis' best-selling book, "The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds." Lewis' book tells the story of Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky whose revolutionary research changed the face of behavioral psychology. This FastReads' Summary includes chapter synopses, key takeaways, and analysis to help you quickly absorb the wisdom of this ground-breaking research. What Will You Learn from Reading This Book? Human beings make irrational decisions sometimes even when they have hard facts in front of them Just like the eye and the ear can be easily deceived, it's possible that our memory also can be flawed since we only remember what we want to remember It is okay to go by your gut instincts, but it's not necessary for your instincts to be right all the time People, including trained statisticians, are prone to make erroneous judgments with very less evidence Many people rely on experts in various fields to arrive at conclusions, but unfortunately, even experts can make mistakes Experts, as shown in many tests, are sometimes more unreliable than a man-made model that mimics the thought process of the experts Most theories in the field of psychology are rarely applicable to real life, but Amos and Danny's theories could be applied to various fields including military, medicine and economics A small judgmental error in medicine can make all the difference between life and death Book Summary Overview In "The Undoing Project," Michael Lewis explores how two psychologists constructed a theory that could alter our very human perception. Daniel Kahneman-an Israeli psychologist, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2002, and Amos Tversky-a mathematical and cognitive psychologist-met about forty years ago to write a series of studies that smashed the assumptions we have made regarding decision-making processes. The study was so mind-boggling that they accurately displayed how the human mind errs when it is forced to make decisions in crucial, uncertain circumstances. Needless to say, their work led to a pathway in the study of behavioral economics, Big Data, and medicine. In fact, the study also helped shape up Michael Lewis's previous book. This compelling book depicts the collaboration between two legendary figures who predicted how the human mind would work when faced with uncertainties.
