Summary:
Our minds play tricks on us every day, and 'The Undoing Project' by Michael Lewis explains why. In this intriguing book, Lewis unravels the groundbreaking work of psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, who challenged the idea of human rationality in decision-making. Their partnership began in war-torn 1960s Israel and birthed a new field of psychology, showing us how our minds systematically deviate from logical thought, leading us to errors and biases. Their work touches everything, from medicine to sports, from public policy to our everyday decisions. But how can understanding these mind tricks change the way we perceive and interact with the world around us? That's where 'The Undoing Project' leads us, revealing how our decisions are often not as rational as we believe. Could we be less biased, and make better decisions? Can knowing our own mind's tricks ever undo its deceitful workings?
