Forty years ago, Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a series of breathtakingly original papers that invented the field of behavioral economics. One of the greatest partnerships in the history of science, Kahneman and Tversky's extraordinary friendship incited a revolution in 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. In The Undoing Project, Lewis shows how their Nobel Prize-winning theory of the mind altered our perception of reality.

@RobynVinter The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis is a personal favourite. Any Jon Ronson too, obvs. And it’s not quite narrative but I Am The Law by @molcher is very relevant right now and really blew me away .

@angeladuckw I can't believe you mentioned Michael Lewis on No Stupid Questions podcast today and neither of you took a moment to acknowledge his terrific book "The Undoing Project" about Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky 🍻 A great deep dive for psychology nerds!
