Nếu so với hai cuốn trước thì cuốn này không hấp dẫn bằng. Đây là tuyển tập các câu Q&A từ mục báo do Dan phụ trách nên không mang đến nhiều điều mới mẻ.
venkyloquist's review against another edition
3.0
One of the most entertaining and endearing social scientists and behavioural economists gracing the field today, Dan Ariely decided to commence a column imaginatively titled "Ask Ariely" in the Wall Street Journal beginning 2012. This was meant to be a platform for readers to get a relief from various dilemmas plaguing their day-to-day existence, both professionally and personally.
This book is a collection of the questions posed by the readers and the solutions provided by Ariely. Ranging from the pesky (a most appropriate solution to prevent dog owners from not cleaning up after their canines) to the profound (whether a couple in their prevalent dispensation ought to have children), the problems span a wide sweep of head and heartaches. Combining a refreshing blend of astute wisdom and spontaneous wit, Professor Ariely comes up with convincing and creative answers to most of the flummoxes.
Covering a wide range of social science niggles such as "loss aversion", "depletion", "adaptation", "signaling" and "political correctness", the solutions proposed by Ariely provide a valuable insight into the window of human psychology and cultural mores. The suggestions are also amenable for practical experimentation and unbiased judgments based on resulting outcomes.
"Behavioural Science...." - time to rethink life!

A nice book for the coffee table collection with each topic being a page or two long. This is a light read with some passages that make us think twice about our inherent biases. But that's where it stops - this a collection of Q&As that Dan wrote for The Wall Street Journal. By extension, it only requires an attention span for a minute or two.

Tons of interesting answers to interesting questions.
Also learned a thing or two.
Good time-pass read.

Reprint of articles that don't hold together thematically and don't add up to anything.
