Dan Ariely - Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions - Audiobook CD
- Unabridged on 6 CDs
- Running time: approx. 7 hours
- Read by Simon Jones
- Condition: As good as new
Topics/Themes: Behavioural Economics / Decision Making / Cognitive Psychology / Business Administration
Why do smart people make irrational decisions every day? The answers will surprise you.
Predictably Irrational is an intriguing, witty and utterly original look at why we all make illogical decisions. Why can a 50p aspirin do what a 5p aspirin can't? If an item is free, it must be a bargain, right? Why is everything relative, even when it shouldn't be? How do our expectations influence our actual opinions and decisions?
In this astounding audiobook, behavioural economist Dan Ariely cuts to the heart of our strange behaviour, demonstrating how irrationality often supplants rational thought and that the reason for this is embedded in the very structure of our minds.
Predictably Irrational brilliantly blends everyday experiences with a series of illuminating and often surprising experiments that will change your understanding of human behaviour. And by recognising these patterns, Ariely shows, we can make better decisions in business, in matters of collective welfare and in our everyday lives, from drinking coffee to losing weight, buying a car to choosing a romantic partner.
