Misbelief: What Makes Rational People Believe Irrational Things by Dan Ariely

5.0

Ariely's book often reads like my social psych and cognitive psych textbooks, citing many of the same studies and sources. Ariely includes enough memoir elements and anecdotes from others to prevent the narrative from becoming too dry. The book is well-organized and really lays out all facets of the layered cause-and-effect we are experiencing now in attempting to understand "post-truth" America.
