Book Reviews of Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions

Book Review: Everyone's irrational.
Summary: 5 Stars

Very good review of growing research into decision making,which it seems is generally irrational. We buy or do things for reasons we are not really aware of and so can be manipulated quite easily. So watch out.
