ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely explores the various ways in which human behavior deviates from rational decision-making. The book delves into how psychological factors, context, and biases often influence our choices more than logical considerations. It challenges the traditional economic view that people make decisions based on pure calculation, showing instead that our choices are frequently driven by emotions, perceptions, and subconscious influences.

 

The book examines concepts like relativity, our attraction to "free" items, the impact of social norms, and the power of expectations on how we perceive things. It further explores how keeping options open can be a drawback, and how the sense of ownership affects the value we assign to things. Ariely presents numerous experiments and real-life examples to demonstrate these irrational patterns in our daily lives. The book reveals that these patterns are not random but are, in fact, predictable.
