If you are pursuing any semi-serious econ studies, read this book. And better read it early rather than late. A great primer on flaws in the rationality concept. The rest of the book is also quite interesting on showing how good or bad our default thinking is.
The only reason I'm taking off a star is because a lot of the middle part was quite boring to me as it was going over stuff I know very well in really basic terms. It's not a ding against the book in general, just for those who are very familiar with the topics.
The last bit about memory and life could be expanded with the addition of future discounting.
P.s. I was in the middle of the book when the author passed away, definitely made the reading experience more poignant afterwards.
