THE UNDOING PROJECT by Michael Lewis, Allen Lane.

-

Michael Lewis brought the madness of human decision-making to the masses in his bestsellin­g books Moneyball and

The Big Short, both of which were turned into blockbuste­r films. He’s the master of making complex informatio­n not only easy to understand, but also rollicking­ly entertaini­ng. Here Lewis goes back to where it all started, with two Israeli geniuses devoting their lives to studying the irrational ways that seemingly rational people make decisions. Amos

Tversky was confident, optimistic and outspoken, Daniel Kahneman a pessimist, eager to please and serious. Their intellectu­al love affair changed the way markets and public policy makers designed the world. You’ll also find out how you’ve been making decisions based on all the wrong reasons.
