Leaves you feeling cleverer - Katie Law * Evening Standard * the final sections will have you weeping - Robert Colvile * Daily Telegraph * At his best, Lewis engages both heart and brain like no author, and he tells the story of Tversky and Kahneman beautifully. Michael Lewis is perhaps my favourite writer full stop. And what a story it is! - Bryan Appleyard * Sunday Times * Although this is an easy read, nothing is wasted and everything seems to be in the right place. He also has a feeling for pace and intensity. Lewis has a strong journalist's sense of a good story and the book is dotted with hundreds. On this occasion I scribbled six, often in high excitement. I normally write two or three pages of notes when reviewing a book. Michael Lewis, with his great gift for humanising complex and abstract ideas, is exactly the storyteller Tversky and Kahneman deserve. Kahneman and Tversky's deep friendship and intellectual collaboration has arguably done as much to define our world as, say, the intertwining between Francis Crick and James Watson. In The Undoing Project he has achieved it again. He achieves this with extraordinary consistency. The Undoing Project is a masterclass in narrative non-fiction - Steven Poole * Spectator *Ī new book by Michael Lewis promises an absorbing story, dazzling ideas, journalistic flair and originality.
