The Undoing Project

The Undoing Project: a Friendship That Changed Our Minds / Michael Lewis, read by Daniel Boutsikaris, 362 p.

The story of the Israeli psychologists Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman, whose research into decision-making theory led to the rise of behavioral economics.  Lewis weaves the key ideas of their research into the stories of their lives both as individuals and in relationship to one another.  Theirs was clearly a unique partnership, but I would have preferred more emphasis on the research and less on the biography.
