Review:

My father is a psychologist, so I was not shocked when this book started talking about psychologists.  The book is truly about the friendship and shared work of two men.  Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman worked together to understand how humans think.  Their work has influenced almost every field, probably with the largest impact being in economics.  The book is really about the friendship and the close, intimate relationship the two shared.  It is truly a biography of the relationship the two men shared.  Michael Lewis also spells out the nature and impact of their research in layman's terms so that it is accessible to everyone.  This is a great book, it is well written and the story line is compelling.  Highly Recommended.
