So, I've started this book and I have 'Thinking, fast and slow' as the next one to read. Seeing that a lot of people are mentioning reading both of the books, I'm wondering is there a preference on which book to read first?

I take back my earlier review, made earlier in my reading of “Undoing.” Later I read Lewis’ explanation of human judgment errors and don’t recall that discussion from “Thinking...”
Valuable as documentation of human errors in judgment, prediction, decision-making. I’m re-reading to highlight those.
I think ‘Thinking ...’ is more technical and strictly about thinking (been a long time since I read it). ‘Undoing’ is pretty simple technically, but enjoyable as an exploration of the relationship between Tversky and Kahneman. Also enjoyable to read about how, I think, the Houston Rockets implemented Moneyball (Oakland A’s) decision making.
