Refreshing, if not groundbreaking, look at human behavior in the context of economics.
Dan Ariely writes about results of real, clever and meaningful research experiments in a very approachable way.
Even though this is a truly scientific book, it has very practical implications for regular consumers like you and me. Make sure you read it before making your next big purchase. An eye opener.
