Michael Lewis's unique ability to turn books into movies

Michael Lewis is known for writing books that are successfully adapted into movies, despite the unconventional topics. Examples include 'Moneyball', which explores how the Oakland A's used statistical analysis to exploit the misvaluation of baseball players, and 'The Big Short', which delves into the housing bubble and financial crisis. Lewis's latest book, 'The Undoing Project', presents the work of Israeli psychologists Amos Tversky and Danny Kahneman, who revolutionized the understanding of human thinking. Their research challenges the notion of rational decision-making and explores how people rely on shortcuts and biases. Despite the lack of action-packed storylines, Lewis's ability to captivate readers and make complex ideas accessible presents possibilities for turning even more unlikely book subjects into successful movies.
