  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "The Undoing Project" by Michael Lewis explores the collaborative relationship between psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, two brilliant minds who revolutionized the field of behavioral economics. The book delves into their contrasting personalities and approaches to research, highlighting how their individual differences fueled their groundbreaking discoveries about human judgment and decision-making. The narrative traces their journey from their early years in Israel to their influential work in the United States, revealing how their joint efforts exposed the systematic errors and biases in human thinking. It examines the various heuristics and biases that affect decision-making, such as representativeness, availability, and anchoring, and explores how people often deviate from rational thought. The book explores how these psychological insights challenged existing economic theories, and had an impact on fields beyond academia.

  'Look Back to Look Forward' -...

  Frank O'Connor

  While Frank O'Connor was known primarily as one of Ireland's finest short-story writers, he was also an accomplished translator. In the long line of Irish writers given to translating poems in Irish into poems written in English – a tradition stretching back at least as far as Jonathan Swift – he stands out above all the rest.
  Between the mid-1920s and the mid-1960s, O'Connor published 121 translations that give voice to the full range of this centuries-old tradition. Collected here in full for the first time, O'Connor's work shows an uncanny aptitude for carrying over into English verse many of the riches to be found in the originals – the ancient voice of the Hag of Beare lamenting her decline into old age; the voices of the early monks describing the Irish landscape, Irish weather, their religious faith, and, in at least one instance, their cat; the voice of Hugh O'Rourke's wife torn between loyalty to her husband and a rising desire for her seducer. All these voices haunted O'Connor throughout his career, whatever else he was doing. The collection includes the Irish-language sources for all 121 translations along with literal translations, enabling the reader to see what O'Connor started from.
  O'Connor's translations sprang from a compulsive desire to breathe life into Ireland's past, to 'look back to look forward,' as he once put it; for him the Irish-language tradition was not for scholars and archives alone, but formed a living body of work vitally relevant to an Ireland that seemed puzzlingly indifferent to it.
  Thanks to O'Connor's profound love of his country's language and its rich, literary subsoil – 'a literature of which no Irishman need feel ashamed', he once said – these voices from Ireland's past can still be heard. Strikingly modern in tone, they conjoin flesh and spirit, the sacred and the secular, in a way that speaks to humankind.
