Predictably Irrational

by Dan Ariely

Dan Ariely ran years of experiments on students, shoppers, and bar patrons to show that the ways we misjudge value are systematic enough to predict in advance. Predictably Irrational is the tour: decoy pricing, the pull of free, the moment a favor curdles into a transaction. Short chapters, real studies, a light touch with the economics.
