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?

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 book, 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. Predicatably 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 that 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.

Behavioral economist Dan Ariely returns in this revised and expanded edition of the New York Times bestseller PREDICTABLY IRRATIONAL (first edition published in February 2008) to offer a much-needed take on the irrational decisions that led to our current economic crisis. In his uniquely charming and engaging style, Dan Ariely again examines our poor decision-making processesnow on a broader canvas than ever before. Taking into account recent economic events, Ariely tackles one of the biggest crises of our times: the financial meltdown and sub-prime mortgage crisis of 2008, and the irrational decisions that led us there. As Ariely explains, relying on standard economic theory alone might, in fact, be dangerous. The mistakes that we make are not random but irrational, and they can aggregate in the market - with devastating results.In this revised and expanded edition of PREDICTABLY IRRATIONAL, Ariely brings a much-needed dose of sophisticated psychology to the realm of public policy. In addition to reflecting on material covered in previous chapters and responding to the thought-provoking comments of his readers, he also answers pertinent questions like: - What caused individuals to take on mortgages that were too large? - What caused bankers to lose sight of the economy? - Why didnt we plan better for the possibility of bad times? - What do we need to do to get over these difficult times? - Is there a psychological fallout from not understanding whats going on in the markets? - Is it possible that a central and global market can increase irrational behavior? - Should we use the assumptions of rational economics as building blocks for setting up policies and designing our institutions? Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking analysis and new research into todays economic climate, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities. The mistakes we make are systematic and predictable - and in light of our current crisis, their consequences have never been more clear. 16.08.2011, gebundene Ausgabe.
