Michael Lewis is known for writing best-selling books like The Big Short and Moneyball. A few years back, I talked with him about The Undoing Project, a friendship that changed our minds. The book focuses on the relationship between two Israeli psychologists who created the field of behavioral economics, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. And considering their differences, it's amazing they were able to work together.

Tversky was an extrovert, very self-confident, very comfortable being the center of attention. Daniel Kahneman isn't just introverted. He's a man plagued with self-doubt. Two men so different, you wonder how they even got along. And, you know, that's the deadliness of overconfidence is making decisions you don't need to make. You can find the undoing project everywhere you find books. And it was written by Michael Lewis. So, you know, you know, know it's good. I'm Chris Hill. Thanks for listening. We'll see you next time.
