Predictably/Irrational - Dan Ariely, PhD.

[thartley]

I would be very interested in whether anyone here has read this book.  I am on a last minute search for reading material to take with me to Thailand and I think this might be a good one.  But would love to hear from anyone here who may have read it.  On the surface it sounds dry, but to me the study of behavioral economics in real world circumstances is intriguing. 

Here's a pretty good link to what the book is about. 

ZeroG?  Hunter?  G Wiz?  anyone read this one?

havent read it Thartley... are you into science fiction at all?
I would recommend Manifold: Time by Stephen Baxter, its written by a professor who writes science fiction but all his theories are based on actual science fact and so it is more like  "science possibility" as far as im concerned.  The time one is about quantum physics and he has several other ones in his manifold series, Manifold: Space (deals with space travel) and Manifold: Origin (explores human origin).

That Manifold series sounds EXACTLY like something I would like, T if you see the Manifold: Time book when your looking I will definitely pay you back.

As for the book, I haven't read it, but it sounds very interesting.  It reminds me of
Freakonomics, which I did read, and also found quite interesting.
