📗 Book Summary: The Undoing Project — A Friendship That Changed Our Minds
Author: Michael Lewis

🧠 Main Idea:
Lewis tells the story of the collaboration between psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, whose research into judgment and decision-making revealed systematic human biases. Their work transformed psychology, economics, and how we think about risk, choice, and rationality.

🔍 Key Concepts:

• Heuristics & Biases:
  People use mental shortcuts (heuristics) that often produce predictable errors (biases) — e.g., availability, representativeness, and anchoring.

• Prospect Theory:
  People evaluate gains and losses asymmetrically: losses hurt more than equivalent gains please — which explains risk-averse and risk-seeking behavior depending on framing.

• Framing Effects:
  The way choices are presented dramatically alters decisions — identical outcomes framed differently produce different choices.

• Overconfidence & Hindsight Bias:
  Humans overestimate their predictive abilities and reinterpret past events to seem more predictable than they were.

• Interpersonal Story:
  The book shows how the personal friendship, rivalry, and complementary temperaments of Kahneman (cautious, deliberative) and Tversky (intuitive, bold) produced breakthroughs.

🌱 Core Lessons:

• Real-world decisions are often driven by biased intuition, not pure rationality.

• Understanding cognitive biases helps design better decisions, policies, and products.

• Small changes in framing and environment can produce large behavioral shifts.

• Collaboration across temperaments (analysis + intuition) can spark paradigm shifts.                                                                                                                                                                                     AI TOOLS
