    Great book
    PREDICTABLY IRRATIONAL
    “Irrational behavior is a part of human nature, but as MIT professor Ariely has discovered in 20 years of researching behavioral economics, people tend to behave irrationally in a predictable fashion.”

    Bad Book (Not worth it!)
    OUTLIERS
    I read it this past weekend, and besides one interesting chapter on the airline crashes (which doesn’t even relate to the topic, more related distributed cognition), the book was a total waste of energy (both by the author and the reader)

    The Wealth of Nations- Adam Smith, 1776

    The one book every author above has read and was influenced by. Before you read an opinion about the system, read the framework. Still relevent today, not in specific ways but in concept. Some things never change and having his teachings reside in the back of your head will allow you to see through things.

    While most of us were forced to read it as part of econ 101, rereading it as an adult and at your leisure makes it a different book entirely.
