3 quotes from Predictably Irrational

  • "We are not wired to make rational decisions; we are wired to make decisions based on the context in which they are made."
  • "The things that make us happy are often not the things we think will make us happy, and understanding our irrational behaviors can help steer us toward better choices."
  • "Our expectations and experiences shape our perceptions of value, leading us to make choices that do not align with our best interests."

Author : Dan Ariely

Dan Ariely serves as a professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University. He has a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology and a second Ph.D. in business administration. When he was 18, he survived an explosion and went through a very long and painful recovery. This experience gave him the impression that people behave irrationally, and this later inspired him to study behavioral economics. As of 2019, Ariely has published six best-selling books on the subject of irrational behaviors, and his TED talk on the subject has been viewed several million times.
