Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics by Richard H. Thaler

3.0

I enjoyed many of the studies he discusses, including the NFL draft, as well as the new office "draft" picks. Without knowing the people he speaks of, particularly those that died, I feel the book gets bogged down at times with the back stories. Usually I'm one who enjoys the personal side of things, but in this instance it seemed unnecessary.

The older I get, the more I agree with the author that people's behavior does not correspond with economic graphs. At the same time, much behavior is predictable. An interesting field of study!
