Athlete vs. grandmaster: The psychology of decision-making
Briefly

Kahneman and Tversky's groundbreaking work in behavioral economics revealed how our decision-making processes can be biased due to cognitive shortcuts, urging a reevaluation of traditional economic theories.
Their collaboration challenged the notion of rational behavior in economics, demonstrating that people often rely on heuristics, leading to systematic errors in judgement that diverge from traditional economic models.
Despite their extensive research demonstrating cognitive biases, Kahneman and Tversky emphasized that our brains were designed for environments that differ greatly from today's complex societal challenges.
Their insights illuminated the crucial role of information presentation in shaping decisions, ultimately paving the way for a deeper understanding of consumer behavior and economic interactions.
