Predictably Irrational
Friday, May 22nd at 2pm

making smart, rational choices. But are we? In a series of illuminating,
often surprising experiments, Ariely refutes the common assumption that
we behave in fundamentally rational ways. explaining how expectations,
emotions, social norms, and other seemingly illogical forces skew our
reasoning abilities. "Predictably Irrational is a far more
