Review Quotes




"Dan Ariely wraps in a clever bow all the questions we've ever wanted answered concerning the behavioral intricacies that dictate the decisions we make. . . . a read that could lightheartedly change your life." -- Associated Press

"The human brain is one of the largest mysteries in the world. Trying to understand its complexities and improve our behavior is one of the main challenges society deals with. In Irrationally Yours, Dan shares with us some of these mysteries and the tools for accomplishing this task." -- Anthony "Tony" Robbins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Unlimited Power, Unleash the Power Within and Awaken the Giant Within

"With 70% of his body burned, 3 years in hospital, and decades of experiments in social science, Dan views life from a unique perspective. In this thoroughly entertaining book Dan provides insightful advice to a vast range of human problems. I loved it." -- Terry Jones, Monty Python member, director, actor and writer

"Ariely is a master observer of human foibles. His advice is funny, thoughtful, and well-founded. Sometimes all three together. My advice: read it, enjoy it, think about it." -- Al Roth, Nobel Laureate in Economics and Craig and Susan McCaw Professor of Economics at Stanford University

"Dan is the most provocative, interesting, and to-the-point advice columnist you are likely to read, whether on your job, your love life, your kids or your disrespectful neighbors" -- Tyler Cowen, author of Average is Over, Holbert L. Harris Professor of Economics at George Mason University, and blogger at marginalrevolution.com

"[An] astute collection of insights into the human condition.... The wide spectrum of topics and Ariely's unpredictable responses makes each page an alluring gem, so readers may have difficulty stopping, but they certainly won't have trouble finding nuggets of wisdom to take away." -- Shelf Awareness

"There is nobody better placed to solve your problems than Dan Ariely. A master of both rationality and irrationality, he's wise enough to know which to recommend in any situation. A funny, addictive, life-changing book." -- Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist Strikes Back
