We are also all followers now of Kahneman and Tversky. Milton Friedman once said that, " We are all Keynesians now” - which I hope is still true. Those of us in the edtech business who wish that our community might be less enthusiastic about the ability of technology to improve learning also owe (in part) our reticence to the findings of Kahneman and Tversky. We are all a little bit sure of ourselves, and a little bit more aware of how easily our thinking can become muddled, thanks to the discoveries of Kahneman and Tversky. You may not know it, but if you are aware of the systematic limitations of your own decision makers powers, than you owe this awareness (at least in part) to the research of Kahneman and Tversky. The story of how new ideas are discovered is told through the intellectual partnership of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. This is a book that captures why so many of us went fell in love with ideas, went to grad school, and have tried (with mixed success) to navigate this ridiculous industry that we call higher education.
The Undoing Project is my favorite Lewis book because it is an unashamed love letter to the intellectual process of discovery. And The Blind Side is a football book beloved by sociologists throughout the land. Blame Moneyball, at least in part, for both the positive and negative consequences of our current obsession with analytics in higher ed. The trilogy of Liar’s Poker, The Big Short, and Flash Boys helped us all to understand the causes and consequences of the financialization of the U.S. Saying that The Undoing Project is my favorite Michael Lewis book is saying a lot.Įverything that Lewis seems to write somehow ends up being important. The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds by Michael Lewis
