Dan Ariely, an author and scientist we’ve featured often here, is back with a new book: Irrationally Yours: On Missing Socks, Pickup Lines, and Other Existential Puzzles.
Irrationally Yours is full of fun, laced with quick lessons in psychology and the science of human behavior. As we enter beach season, take Ariely’s book with you instead of the latest thriller or romance. Or, listen to the audio version on your long and unpredictable commute to your office. (My preferred method for coping with traffic jams is to listen to recorded books or podcasts. If I’m listening to something particularly good, I find I almost look forward to the occasional delay.)
Regardless of how you consume Irrationally Yours, you’ll enjoy Ariely’s bite-sized nuggets of wisdom. And, you’ll actually learn a few ways to cope with life’s annoyances even as you chuckle at the humor.
