A true story about the friendship between the two famous psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Trevsky. These two personalities have marked the modern psychology over three decades and their legacy is still present nowadays. A dazzling and unique story, in which the author brilliantly undergoes their lives and their extraordinary relationship, where they pushed and inspired each other: one was an infinite source of ideas and discoveries for the other and viceversa. It starts from the second world war, goes through the endless Israelian-Egyptian conflict till to their settlement in the USA. The happy end, crowned by the Nobel Prize for Danny, only partially mitigates Amos's premature loss. However their theories, models, thoughts have opened a new era in the study of the human behaviour by suceeding to merge the economics and psychology fields.
