The Undoing Project
by Michael Lewis
The story of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, their friendship and collaboration, the work that created behavioral economics, and the strain that ended it. Lewis makes the science vivid through two extraordinary characters, and the book doubles as a study of creative partnership.

you want the human story behind the biases research.

- The mind's errors are systematic; they can be studied.
- Partnerships need tending or they end.
Do this first
Read it alongside Kahneman's book; the story makes the science stick.
