He was an early riser, constantly hopping from one idea to the next. One was a pessimist, self-doubting, subdued, somewhat of a loner, a survivor, and a peace-seeker. The two psychologists were strikingly different individuals, like yin and yang. The deeper I ventured into their lives, the more I found myself absorbed by their incredible journey. Their tales of living in constant fear of the Nazis, surviving war-torn conflict zones, and their unique experiences in school, as well as the development of their interest in psychology, proved utterly engrossing. However, as the story unfolded, I became captivated by the childhood backgrounds of these two extraordinary psychologists. While I was aware that the book focused on two psychologists and their exploration of judgement and decision-making, the chapter’s abundance of basketball references proved challenging to engage with, primarily because I have little familiarity with or interest in the sport. Initially, the book’s first chapter, titled “Man Boobs,” left me wondering if I had picked the right read. Nevertheless, Michael Lewis’s work remains a fascinating read, and I eagerly embraced the opportunity to delve into the minds of these two extraordinary individuals.
