Book Reviews of The Predictably Irrational CD

Book Review: Clean, straightforward writing introduces Behavioral Economics to the layperson
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought and listened to the Audio CD version of this book. Simon Jones' articulate and enthusiastic reading was a perfect fit for the insightful and downright impish writing style of MIT Professor Dan Ariely. Ariely's book introduced me to the world of Behavioral Economics. His clean, straightforward writing is accessible to the layperson. The thing that struck me the most was the heavy reliance on experimentation to prove out theories. The experiments themselves are uniformly inventive and well-executed. Their hallmark is their simplicity and relevance as well as Professor Ariely's ability to interpret and relate their significance. I do recommend the Audio version - an enjoyable way to eat up the hours in your car with some downright fascinating stuff.
