Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics by Richard H. Thaler

4.0

I enjoyed this book. Thaler narrates his career in economics and summarizes the "controversial" work in behavioral economics he did over the course of his career. I enjoyed his story telling (he's quick witted; I laughed out loud during a few parts) and thought he explained the field well without being patronizing. I enjoy the field of economics on it's own and even without Thaler's clever storytelling the content itself would be interesting.

I felt that the chapters were a little bit short and wanted a little bit more out of each chapter (I guess I could go read each paper myself...) but ultimately enjoyed reading the book.
