It is no "Freakonomics," but the information was still interesting. They mentioned a lot of studies that presented intriguing results.
It's an okay pop science book. I didn't learn anything new from it, but it has a coherent thesis and follows it up with good studies and science. It does talk a bit about some strategies to avoid irrational behavior, but it's more about how people think they make logical sense when they are being led by social or emotional goals.
interesting stories, intriguing concepts. what does rationality and the awareness of it have to do in our lives? i would ask, should everything in life be completely rational? but that may lead me to the philosophy of things, i suppose.
an introduction of stories and studies that stuck with me and will probably stick with me for a long time.
in brief, the most i took out of it is the concept of "personal construct theory": where we are most irrational when we focus on only one possibility and a "single interpretation of a situation or person," linked with the application of "propositional thinking": to hold evaluations "tentatively," to remain flexible to information that is complex and ever changing.
