Book 4: Predictably Irrational

Now this is a funny/brilliant book and the topic it deals with very very interesting. Last night I was reading part of the book and it was like opening a window that has always been in the wall but I just never bothered to open and the day I opened it the panorama was impressive.
I apologies for the emotional sentence but I was really impressed. It came in mind nanny times where such irrationality was openly noticed in everyday life. It is also clinically used in patients that believe are ill but the analyses show no illness at all. The doctors use these "dummy" pills which are candy's that look like medicines and the patients simply get better.
It is also what defines us as humans because irrationality makes the everyday better and the most boring situations to be remembered as we ( me or the other persons) will always make some irrational move.
Regards

  1. I would like to quote John W. Holt

    "The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do."

  2. Irrationally is the key element that distinguishes the humans from all the creatures of this world.
    I agree for the attitude but it is the best argument to have never ending discussions. The more you enter the argument the deeper the discussions can become.
