Good but a little repetitive and it really felt like something meant for a businessman to buy and read.

Easy, good, but almost too simple
I love Dan Ariel. Predictably Irrational is one of my fave books of all time. This was good, but wished it had been longer. Got the point across, though. Didn’t mind the graphic format, but I prefer text.

This would have been better for me if the author didn't reference his own studies to prove his point. It felt a bit like confirmation bias.

This short graphic book starts verrry slow... the protagonist is almost unbelievably dense about interpersonal relationships, but over the course of the book, is convinced by psychology research evidence that social forces and market forces are always in tension and should not lightly be combined when trying to persuade people or build lasting relationships. I bet there could be a whole sequel to this just on child-rearing and just on education and just on human resources, but the parts I will take away are the categories of gifts that people appreciate most (since I consider myself a good gift giver but still suffer fear of giving a bad, unwanted gift).

Delightful, applicable, and to the point
I really enjoyed this. I thought the illustrations made it more engaging, and like the other Ariely I've read this book was short, to the point, giving both applicable research and applications in my own life. Would definitely recommend!

I shelved this as ‘autism’ even though the author doesn’t address it because I suspect a lot of my fellow autistic people would enjoy learning explicitly about how social motivations and financial motivations can interfere with each other. The protagonist starts off with a kind of ineffective hyper-rationality that I recognized.
