Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior by Ori Brafman
4.0
interesting stories, intriguing concepts. what does rationality and the awareness of it have to do in our lives? i would ask, should everything in life be completely rational? but that may lead me to the philosophy of things, i suppose.
an introduction of stories and studies that stuck with me and will probably stick with me for a long time.
in brief, the most i took out of it is the concept of "personal construct theory": where we are most irrational when we focus on only one possibility and a "single interpretation of a situation or person," linked with the application of "propositional thinking": to hold evaluations "tentatively," to remain flexible to information that is complex and ever changing.
