The Undoing Project

a Friendship That Changed Our Minds
Apr 14, 2017writermala rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
This book is for the most part a treatise on Behavioral Psychology (Behavioral Economics?) I would add though that a good bit of the book deals with the behaviour of Amos Tvesky and Daniel Kahneman and their relationship as co-researchers. The author used this friendship to demonstrate how the human mind indulges in fallacious 'reasoning' and I must confess that even as a Math student I fell for some of the traps. I think the relationship between Danny and Amos added a degree of humanity to what could have otherwise been a dry subject. As Danny pointed out it was as though, "we were sharing a mind." It is we who benefited from this partnership.
