Predictably Irrational:
How We Make Bad Choices
Do you know why we promise ourselves to diet and exercise, only to have the thought vanish when the dessert cart rolls by? Do you know why we sometimes find ourselves excitedly buying things we don’t really need? Do you know why we still have a headache after taking a five-cent aspirin, but why that same headache vanishes when the aspirin costs 50 cents? Do you know why people who have been asked to recall the Ten Commandments tend to be more honest than those who haven’t? Learn the answers to these and other “teachable moments” and how you can apply these principles to the classroom for better results. Teachers will receive the book, Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely.
