Dan Ariely - Irrationally Yours

Social scientist, Dan Ariely revolutionized the way we think about ourselves, our minds, and our actions in his books Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality, and The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty. Ariely applies this scientific analysis of the human condition in his anthology Irrationally Yours: On Missing Socks, Pick-up Lines, and Other Existential Puzzles based off of his "Ask Ariely" Q&A column in the Wall Street Journal. Ariely's anthology shares personal conundrums, ranging from the serious to the curious. What can you do to stay calm when you're playing the volatile stock market? How can you maximize the return on your investment at an all-you-can-eat buffet? Is it possible to put a price on the human soul? With their trademark insight and wit, Ariely and cartoonist William Haefeli help us reflect on how we can reason our way through external and internal challenges. Readers will laugh, learn, and, most importantly, gain a new perspective on how to deal with the inevitable problems that plague daily life.

Dan Ariely is the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University, and is the founder of the Center for Advanced Hindsight. His work has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Boston Globe, and elsewhere. He lives in North Carolina with his family.
