Description
8vo, fardcover in dj. Lewis brings his narrative gift to the fascinating collaboration between Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, whose Nobel Prize-winning theory of the mind altered our perception of reality. Kahneman and Tversky showed the ways in which the human mind errs, systematically, when forced to make judgments about uncertain situations. By undoing our assumptions about the decision-making process, Kahneman and Tversky's breathtaking work created the field of behavioural economics, advanced evidence-based medicine, led to a new approach to government regulation, and made possible much of Lewis's own writing on topics from business to baseball. 362 pp
