Books like Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely


In this expanded edition, behavioral economist Dan Ariely examines the irrational forces—expectations, emotions, and social norms—that shape everyday choices. He links these invisible influences to personal missteps, institutional failures, and the 2008 financial collapse, offering a new lens on public policy and economic behavior. Through experiments and analysis, Ariely shows how predictable biases aggregate into market consequences, urging a rethink of standard economic theory and its application to national and global decisions.
