How We Decide by Jonah Lehrer

3.0

The take-away message is that emotions can often (though not always) lead you to better decisions than your rational brain can, especially if you're confronted with lots of choices. Books like this (popular science/psychology/sociology) all have the same formula: an anecdote about something that seems ordinary that actually shows scientists a new feature/function of the brain. The formula gets old fast, but the content is good.
