Please explain the meaning of the title "The Undoing Project".

[Joy H.]

What exactly does the word "undoing" mean in the title: The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds?

In other words, how were minds changed? What was undone?

They mention at some point in the book that they are undoing how we think. Tsversky and Kahnaman were looking for other psychological biases to undo. I think that's what they were going for.

Thank you, Courtney.

Spoiler alert.
There is a double meaning. As well as the technical explanation above, it also refers to the undoing of the friendship and collaboration between Tsversky and Kahnaman. Kind of sad.
