Read: Dan Ariely - Predictably Irrational
After reading Dan Ariely's second book, I was interested to read this one too. It's just as surprising, entertaining, and enjoyable. Most memorable findings: 'free' is almost irresistible, we're all terrible at judging how poor our decision-making skills are when swayed by passion, it isn't easy to prevent procrastination but there are some strategies, everyone's just a little bit dishonest unless they're reminded of their morals, and while we'll happily volunteer our time to do something that otherwise we would demand to be paid highly for, being paid a little ruins the social contract.
