In a series of illuminating, often surprising experiments, MIT behavioral economist Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking research, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities.

Does the chance of getting caught affect how likely we are to cheat? How do companies pave the way for dishonesty? Does collaboration make us more honest or less so? Does religion improve our honesty? Most of us think of ourselves as honest, but, in fact, we all cheat. From Washington to Wall Street, the classroom to the workplace, unethical behavior is everywhere. None of us is immune whether it's the white lie to head off trouble or padding our expense reports.

Exploring a wide range of everyday topics - from credit card debt and household budgeting to holiday sales - Ariely and Kreisler demonstrate how our ideas about dollars and cents are often wrong and cost us more than we know. Mixing case studies and anecdotes with tangible advice and lessons, they cut through the unconscious fears and desires driving our worst financial instincts and teach us how to improve our money habits.

Every day we work hard to motivate ourselves, the people we live with, the people who work for and do business with us. In this way much of what we do can be defined as being motivators. From the boardroom to the living room, our role as motivators is complex, and the more we try to motivate partners and children, friends and coworkers, the clearer it becomes that the story of motivation is far more intricate and fascinating than we've assumed.

In his groundbreaking book Predictably Irrational, social scientist Dan Ariely revealed the multiple biases that lead us into making unwise decisions. Now, in The Upside of Irrationality, he exposes the surprising negative and positive effects irrationality can have on our lives. Focusing on our behaviors at work and in relationships, he offers new insights and eye-opening truths about what really motivates us on the job.

Prenez le contrôle sur vos actions irrationnelles ! Vous est-il arrivé de remettre les choses importantes au lendemain ? Ou d'acheter des marchandises dont on n'a pas besoin ? D'être perdu dans le choix ? Ou de prendre la décision pas typique pour vous ? Dan Ariely, le spécialiste de behavioral economics, vous propose de trouver les réponses à toutes ces questions. Dans son best-seller, il affirme que toutes actions dites "irrationnelles" sont tout à fait prévisibles !

Irrational behavior is a part of human nature, but as MIT professor Dan Ariely has discovered in 20 years of researching behavioral economics, people tend to behave irrationally in a predictable fashion. Drawing on psychology and economics, behavioral economics can show us why cautious people make poor decisions about sex when aroused, why patients get greater relief from a more expensive drug over its cheaper counterpart and why honest people may steal office supplies or communal food, but not money.

Jeder schätzt sich als ehrlich ein, doch in Wahrheit ist es keiner. Unternehmen und Banken fördern unredliches Verhalten. Teamarbeit verleitet zum Betrug - überall wird getrickst und gelogen. Dan Ariely zeigt, dass man dabei wider Erwarten gar nicht so berechnend vorgeht, sondern eher von irrationalen Kräften geleitet wird. Und das hat überraschende Auswirkungen.

Wie gehen wir mit Geld um? Was bedeutet es uns? Warum sind so viele Menschen bereit, sich hoffnungslos zu verschulden? Und was treibt Banker, den Kollaps unseres Finanzsystems zu riskieren? In der erweiterten Neuausgabe seines internationalen Bestsellers zeigt Dan Ariely, wie unsere Entscheidungen gelenkt werden und weshalb wir in vielen Lebenssituationen zu unserem eigenen Nachteil handeln.

Warum halten wir die eigenen Ideen immer für die besten? Weshalb wirken sich hohe Boni nachteilig auf die Arbeitsleistung aus? Wieso folgen wir bei der Partnersuche nicht unserem Schönheitsideal? Und warum lassen sich Rachegefühle so schwer bezähmen?
