Story
In 1986, before Michael Lewis became the best-selling author of The Big Short, Moneyball, and Flash Boys, he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street’s premier investment firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to New York- and London-based bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush. Liar’s Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied years - a behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business.

Since the original publication of Nudge more than a decade ago, the title has entered the vocabulary of businesspeople, policy makers, engaged citizens, and consumers everywhere. The book has given rise to more than 200 "nudge units" in governments around the world and countless groups of behavioral scientists in every part of the economy. It has taught us how to use thoughtful "choice architecture" - a concept the authors invented - to help us make better decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society.

Continually interrupts narrative to bash Trump

Publisher's Summary
Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky met in war-torn 1960s Israel. Both were gifted young psychology professors: Kahneman a rootless son of Holocaust survivors who saw the world as a problem to be solved, Tversky a voluble, instinctual blur of energy.
In this breathtaking new audiobook, Michael Lewis tells the extraordinary story of a relationship that became a shared mind: one which created the field of behavioural economics, revolutionising everything from Big Data to medicine, from how we are governed to how we spend, from high finance to football.
Kahneman and Tversky, shows Michael Lewis, helped shape the world in which we now live - and may well have changed, for good, humankind's view of its own mind.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Tragic and overwhelmingly beautiful
The story of Danny and Amos sneaks up on you. Michael Lewis writes with their pragmatism which guards you as you listen to stories so unimaginable in their horror... until the last sentence where you fracture. Amazing - this book and these men have affected me in a way no other book has.

Prelude to Thinking Fast and Slow
Found some of this book a bit tedious and difficult to keep listening to in parts. But it was worth it for the history of behavioural economics.

A Beautiful Telling
This was a beautiful telling of the lives of The Odd Couple of the unexpected, yet wholly important, bridging of the studies of economics and psychology, later galvanised in Richard Thayler's work on Behavioral Economics.
The telling of their story is superb and, despite Lewis' stated attempts to present a book which would be "unfilmable" has, to me, so articulately constructed a work which renders itself so easily to the big screen, that I believe if that's his true ambition, he ought to try harder. Given his roles in Lewis' previous adaptations, Moneyball and The Big Short, I would cast Pitt as Redelmeier.

Good but ....
Enjoyable but somehow left a little hollow. Would rather slightly less waffle and more examples of how their theories are used in practice today Maybe that’s a follow up book ...

This is a book for those who are interested in psychology and personal development. It was an eye opener to the systematic biases that we are prone too. I definitely recommend reading or listening to this book.
