Best-selling author Michael Lewis (Liarâs Poker, Moneyball, The Blind Side, Flash Boys) recounts the research that led to Prospect Theory and spawned the field of behavior economics and impacted other fields such as Big Data studies and professional athletics teams organization. The book begins with examples from professional athletics, then gives details on Kahnemanâs and Tverskyâs early lives and the experiences that shaped their personalities and motivations.

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 Lewisâs 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 ProjectThis 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, mankindâs view of its own mind. - WW Norton
How a Nobel Prizeâwinning theory of the mind altered our perception of reality.
