In "The Undoing Project," Michael Lewis masterfully chronicles the groundbreaking partnership of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, whose revolutionary work gave birth to the field of behavioral economics. With his signature narrative flair, Lewis paints a vivid portrait of two men whose brilliant minds and intense camaraderie transformed our understanding of human decision-making. Through a series of original studies, Kahneman and Tversky challenged the very foundations of economics, psychology, and statistics, propelling forward innovations in Big Data, evidence-based medicine, and even government policy. Their friendship, as complex and dynamic as their theories, becomes the beating heart of Lewis's narrative, revealing the human drama behind their intellectual conquests. Lewis's account is not just a story of scientific achievement but a deeply human tale of how two contrasting personalities came together to question the certainties of the era and how their work continues to shape our world today. "The Undoing Project" is a testament to the power of collaboration and curiosity, inviting readers into the minds of two men who saw the world differently and, by doing so, altered our perception of reality itself. Through meticulous research and engaging prose, Lewis offers a spectacular account of innovation, friendship, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge, making this book an essential read for anyone fascinated by the ways in which our minds work and how our decisions shape the world around us.

Man is a deterministic device thrown into a probabilistic universe. In this match, surprises are expected.
