This falls into the Freakanomics/Malcolm Gladwell genre. They explore all the ways that we are irrational: confirmation bias, loss aversion, etc. It's interesting but if you've read one of these kinds of books I feel like you've read them all. They draw a lot of tenuous connections between different examples. Their writing style kind of bothered me also. Not everything has to be written as a narrative, sometimes is ok to just say something. For example, instead of saying "We met professor such and such in New York, a week before he headed back to London where he teaches at XYZ." You could just say "Professor such and such, who teaches at XYZ.."
It's a fast read and you might pick up some interesting things to say at boring parties.

My dad put this in my hands and said, "Read this and mail it back to me." And now I get it. I learned a lot from reading this book, and I'd encourage others to read it as well! Fascinating psychology.

Why do we decide what we do? It turns out, that simple gut feeling isn't as simple as we thought. This book explores the factors that can cause us to sway our decisions through stories. It's a fast read and engaging but I wish it gave more concrete advice about how to avoid these sways. Perhaps just the knowledge of what might be underlying a particular situation may be enough to reconsider and reflect.

This is a very good book that could have been great. It's a tad short and could have used more practical recommendations at the end.
