The story behind "Thinking Fast and Slow" but much easier to read.
Yeah, I liked it -- was a good mix of biography/personal stories about Kahneman and Tversky and brought in some real-world examples of applied topics covered in Thinking Fast And Slow.
The Undoing Proect by Michael Lewis (about the relationship between Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky and their research together)
Halfway through The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis at the moment, it's pretty good, a joint biography of Kahneman and Tversky (of the "Thinking, Fast and Slow", which I guess is another HN classic).
You might enjoy Undoing Project by Michael Lewis as well, it's like the backstory of Thinking Fast and Slow.
