“Acknowledgment is a kind of human magic—a small human connection, a gift from one person to another that translates into a much larger, more meaningful outcome.”

Lewis is honestly such an entertaining writer. The story and characters are fascinating too, so that helps. Really provided insight into so many different fields. Cool intro to behavioral economics.

Read while driving from dc to seattle. Mom gave to me from her collection.

Behavioral economics book and updated version of the authors‘ 2008 edition. I enjoyed the insights into how people and companies manipulate environments and therefore our choices/decisions for better or worse. There are a lot of stats in this book but the writing is not dry.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Behavioral economics is one of my favorite subjects to study. Ariely does a great job condensing hefty intellectual observations into an enjoyable reading experience that leaves you feeling smarter. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to better understand humanity.

Placebos run on the power of suggestion. They're effective because people believe in them. Often it's the thought of being helped that brings relief.

"The power of the first decision can have such a long-lasting effect that it will percolate into our future decisions for years to come."

I loved Thinking, Fast and Slow, but I have to bail on this follow-up (with the exception of a chapter on medical decision-making). Too esoteric and overly scientific writing which could not keep me engaged. The first one succeeded, I think with plenty of brevity and fun examples. Unfortunately, this one doesn‘t.
