Reducing rationality to “understand most of Kahneman and Tversky’s work” and cognitive psychology would be extremely narrow and miss most of the topic.
To quickly get some independent perspective, I recommend reading the Overview of the handbook part of “The Handbook of Rationality” (2021, MIT Press, open access). For an extremely crude calibration: the Handbook has 65 chapters. I’m happy to argue at least half of them cover topics relevant to the EA project. About ~3 are directly about Kahneman and Tversky’s work. So, by this proxy, you would miss about 90% of whats relevant.
