I have basically become a Dan Ariely Fanboy because of this book

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

I discovered Dan Ariely while watching the Elizabeth Holmes Theranos documentary on HBO, all of his points he made about her in the doc were absolutely fascinating so I delved deeper and watched several videos he had done online. I loved how extremely intelligent and great at articulating somewhat complex ideas in a simple matter he is so I decided to look into what books he had written.

Since buying this book I have basically become a fanboy/evangelist of his. The concepts he teaches, backed by the numerous studies, proofs, and experiments are absolutely phenomenal. I am a small business owner and the very first chapter on comparison and pricing strategy was immediately applicable to me.

If you are a fan of psychology and human interaction or you own your own business, you owe it to yourself to buy this book. It is just so damn good, full of such incredibly well-thought out experiments, examples and immediately-applicable advice that anyone would find value in it.

Fun and informative

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2014

I had purchased Predictably Irrational a number of years ago in physical form. When I decided to purchase the others on Kindle, I figured I would grab the set simply so I could bookmark, search, and reference from all of them.

Dan has a great writing style that "de-academicizes" what could certainly be written in a dry, academic style. His relating of the experiments that he and his colleagues do actually make me laugh at times. This makes them far more accessible than they would be without the storytelling.

The research is spot on and the insights garnered from it are very useful in many aspects of life... be it as a consumer or a seller, a politician or a voting citizen -- anywhere that people communicate ideas to each other. Reading these books will certainly make you more aware of how... well... to sum it up... we're all pretty irrational.

Humans are more complex than we expected!

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

I love these books. Mr. Ariely is very engaging as a writer. The information is presented in a very clear, almost conspiratorial, style. The style allows the reader to become invested in the process and happy to hear what the outcomes of all the work is.
I learned a lot in all the books, and it helped that the author used his own personal experience to give some additional insight into his work and his desire to learn about the human condition. I knew that my brain lied to me, and lead me astray sometimes, but now I'm pretty confident that I should not rely too heavily on what my head says. I could be "primed" or I could just be wrongly figuring that it's OK to "lie, but just a little." Crazy good books. Read them, and then take a new look at your world and how your perceptions are defined. I want to meet this author and shake his hand! You will too.

A really lucrative package of knowledge

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have to admit that this bundle was pretty much an impulse purchase for me, but due to attending one of Dan Ariely's online courses I was pretty much sold long before purchasing these books. Since the online course was partially based on the first book, some stories/experiments sounded familiar to me.
That being said, I think I learned a lot about human irrationality and the way humans think in general. Thus I'd highly recommend this bundle to everyone who's at least a little bit interested in psychology and human nature. You won't be disappointed, even if you're a complete beginner in the topic: thr book's literally crammed with stories and interesting/practical experiments to illustrate how each phenomenon occurs in real life. Moreover it's much easier to read than most of the psychology books out there.

Fun things to learn

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2013

I, too, bought this bundle because I am taking Prof. Ariely's MOOC class on Coursera, "Irrational Thinking." I would not have bought them otherwise; probably would have borrowed from my public library instead. I am enjoying them (and loving the class) and so intend to review the material after the class is complete, to reinforce what I have learned and put it to work for me.

Was the purchase irrational? Probably - ok, definitely. I spent $16 that I did not plan to spend on books I could have accessed at no cost to me - and all I focus on is the $12 I saved by buying the bundle! Thank you, Dan Ariely.

This Purchase Was Predictably Irrational

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2013

Verified Purchase

Is buying this bundle "predictably irrational"? If you read the first book in the series you will find a story about bundling and distractor options when purchasing a magazine. The point is the company persuades the consumer to purchase a bundled option by pitting it next to a less attractive but similar option. Given that this is a main theme of one of the opening chapters, it seems ironic that there would be a bundled option. I am trying to picture the conversation Dan Ariely had with the publisher/marketing consultant over this. However, I still feel like I've gotten a bargain so let's do the math to see if my "predictable irrationality" was a poor decision. The bundled kindle version of Dan Ariely's 3 books costs $16, a little more pricey than the average book I buy. Buying the three books separately would cost $9.78, $8.99, and $9.99, respectively for a total cost of $28.76. I'll tell you the truth though, I have not yet read the latter two books (just Predictably Irrational), but I would gladly wager the $6.22 difference between the bundle and the Predictably Irrational price. Dan Ariely's bundle seems to pass its own litmus test for rationality. Oh, and it's a great read.

MUST read

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

I am a big fan of everything Dan Ariely writes and have even followed his online class because of the books. They really are a must-read, especially if your work relates to sales, management, HR, community services, etc. I'm obsessed with Predictably Irrational and it is one of the few books I've ever read twice and recommend it to everyone I know. One will never look at decision making again after learning from Professor Ariely.

Mr. Paul Millsom

an easily read compendium on interesting pychology

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2013

Psychology can appear to be overly dry and academic but this discussion about more recent research not only reveals some interesting surprises, it also presents them in a context that will be useful for managers, marketers and those looking to gain more insight into their everyday relationships.

What a revelation!

After a 23 year interest in business ethics, attending events, reading many books, at last a collection of writings, many from very apt experiments which suggests WHY people behave as they do - or misbehave as they do! HIGHLY recommended!

Love the Books - Suckered into the Bundle

Reviewed in India on February 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

Books are great. I own all 3 in hard copy form. However, I (purely my error in reading the price) made the mistake of buying the bundle. It's cheaper to buy each book, in the Kindle Edition separately. Caveat Emptor ... and I'm sure I'll find the predictability in my irrational act :(

A very engaging and enjoyable read.

Reviewed in Australia on December 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

Dan Ariely obviously knows his stuff, and he knows how to share it in an interesting, engaging, and informative way. I'd often thought that academics whose test subjects are university students get to know a lot about university students, but that might not translate into what the non-student body are really thinking and experiencing. Ariely writes with humour and insight; insight that just 'clicks' with what you and your peers know to be true, and so I think he encompasses those of us who aren't university guinea pigs. A very worthwhile read and one I'll return to more than once.

Thank you Amazon for selling these three books as a bundle. Loved Dan’s work on human behaviour and his real life experiments. A very good book for those starting to explore Behavioural Sciences.
