Perfect for curious adults and business students alike, this bundle is an accessible, thought-provoking introduction to the psychology of everyday decision-making.

About the Books
This collection gathers three of Dan Ariely's most influential works on behavioral economics, each tackling a different facet of human irrationality. Predictably Irrational opens the series by dismantling the myth that people act as purely rational agents, showing how social norms, emotions, pricing tricks, and default options quietly steer everyday choices, from grocery shopping to dating. The Honest Truth About Dishonesty shifts focus to ethics, using field experiments to reveal that cheating and lying exist on a sliding scale shaped by opportunity, self-image, and small self-justifications, while showing what organizations can do to curb dishonest behavior. The Upside of Irrationality rounds out the set by exploring the surprising benefits of our quirks, examining how emotion and motivation can lead to unexpectedly positive outcomes at work and in relationships. Together, the three books trace a compelling arc: revealing the hidden architecture of choice, probing its ethical dimensions, and reframing irrationality as something that can work in our favor. Grounded in peer-reviewed research, this set suits a professional's desk, a student's shelf, or a curious reader's nightstand.
