This is a book explaining how our opinions and actions are unwittingly influenced by different conditions. The author, a professor of behavioral economics at MIT uses experiments to prove his theories. He deals with such topics as the placebo effect, how cost affects our expectations of items we use, and how doing things for free feels more valuable to us than paid labor. A useful outcome of reading this book is becoming more aware of how outside forces influence our thoughts and actions so that we can take more full control of choices we make.

This is a quick read, written in an informal manner, which is both fun and interesting. ( )

This was a quick read, especially since I was already familiar with Professor Arieli's research. It's depressing to realize just how irrational people are, especially since I've seen this behavior in myself. The important thing is to recognize these shortcomings in yourself and others and to compensate accordingly. ( )

This book was recommended by one of my business mentors as a way to gain greater insight into why people do what they do. I picked it up because I wanted to understand, from a marketing perspective, how we decide to buy -- or not buy -- a product or service. I got exactly what I was after in the first couple of chapters. Then I found myself pleasantly engrossed in Ariely's subsequent experiments, which dealt with everything from the power of arousal to human beings' tendency toward dishonesty.

I appreciated Ariely's accessible writing style and his limited use of jargon. This could have been a dense, dull read, but it wasn't. My interest in behavioral economics continues to grow, and PREDICTABLY IRRATIONAL is an excellent addition to my library. ( )

This book one of the best of the extensive genre of popular books about contemporary psychology. What makes this book great is that the author is a researcher and an entertaining writer. The combination of these traits save this book from the two common pitfalls of this genre: boring writing and shallow writing. Ariely is, in fact, responsible for much of the research he discusses in the book, which means that the results are represented as well as they can be in a book for a general audience. It's a worthwhile read if you're interested in how your mind works. ( )

So what about our football fans and the game-winning pass? Although both friends were watching the same game, they were doing so through markedly different lenses. One saw the past is in bounds. The other saw it as out in sports, such arguments are not particularly damaging— in fact, they can be fun. The problem is that the same biased processes can influence how we experience other aspects of our world. These biased processes are in fact, a major source of escalation in almost every conflict, whether Israeli Palestinian, American-Iraqi, Serbian-Croatian, or Indian-Pakistani.
The more we understand the connection between brain and body, the more things that once seemed clear-cut, become ambiguous. Nowhere, is this as apparent, as with the placebo.
If you look at a dollar bill, in fact, it seems to have been designed to conjure up a contract: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, it says in prominent type, with a shadow beneath that makes it seem three-dimensional. And there is George Washington himself (and we all know that he could never tell a lie). And then, on the back, it gets even more serious: IN GOD WE TRUST, it says. And then we've got that weird pyramid, and on top, that unblinking eye! And it's looking right at us!
