The author Robert H Frank holds the same esteemed professorship as had Richard Thaler and my friend Charles M.C. Lee. The book is not meant for teaching basic economics, but as a delightful collection of interesting observations of the incongruity of everyday behavior. It is great to relax and enjoy these quick puzzles as a review of one's economics knowledge, much like Fermi questions in physics. |

The new title by Dan Ariely is an extremely readable introduction to the concepts of Behavioral Economics, applied to our everyday life. In contrast, other titles focus on the applications to finance and investment strategies. Highly recommended. The author's own blog entry compares the book to other popular titles: While Freakonomics shows rationality (i.e. traditional cold calculating optimization) at work in unexpected places, Predictably Irrational shows that the additional dimensions of emotion, expectation, and other forces are stronger in places where we expect rationality to dominate. |
