Everyday Irrationality: How Pseudo- Scientists, Lunatics, and the Rest of Us Systematically Fail to Think Rationally

By Robyn M. Dawes

Book Overview

Robyn Dawes demonstrates how irrationality results from ignoring obvious comparisons, while instead falling into associational and story-based thinking. He also demonstrates that a lot of everyday judgment, unsupported professional claims, and even social policy is based on "everyday" irrationality.
