Behavioural Economics Saved My Dog
Sunday Times bestselling author Dan Ariely brings his unique perspective to bear on a maelstrom of life’s problems – from how to deal with a Christmas card list that’s fast becoming unmanageable to whether or not you should have children.
Ariely changed the way we view ourselves, how we think and how we act, with his book Predictably Irrational. In his immensely popular Wall Street Journal advice column, where readers “Ask Ariely” for his help with various dilemmas, he provides a logical view on the seemingly illogical, shedding light on the most curious minutiae of human behaviour.
With a helping hand from legendary New Yorker cartoonist William Haefeli, Ariely’s new book will make you laugh at the ridiculous aspects of our daily existence just as you gain a new perspective on how to handle the inevitable challenges that life brings us all.

Dan Ariely
64 books3,943 followersFrom Wikipedia:
Dan Ariely is the James B. Duke Professor of Behavioral Economics at Duke University. He also holds an appointment at the MIT Media Lab where he is the head of the eRationality research group. He was formerly the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Behavioral Economics at MIT Sloan School of Management.
Dan Ariely grew up in Israel after birth in New York. In his senior year of high school, Ariely was active in Hanoar Haoved Vehalomed, an Israeli youth movement. While he was preparing a ktovet esh (fire inscription) for a traditional nighttime ceremony, the flammable materials he was mixing exploded, causing third-degree burns to over 70 percent of his body.[
Ariely recovered and went on to graduate from Tel Aviv University and received a Ph.D. and M.A. in cognitive psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a Ph.D. in business from Duke University. His research focuses on discovering and measuring how people make decisions. He models the human decision making process and in particular the irrational decisions that we all make every day.
Ariely is the author of the book, Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions, which was published on February 19, 2008 by HarperCollins. When asked whether reading Predictably Irrational and understanding one's irrational behaviors could make a person's life worse (such as by defeating the benefits of a placebo), Ariely responded that there could be a short term cost, but that there would also likely be longterm benefits, and that reading his book would not make a person worse off.

At least my extraocular muscles got some exercise thanks to the intense eye-rolling this "book" imposed on me with every single one of its pages.
December 15, 2016
Thoroughly disappointing! This is a collection of Ariely's columns titled "Ask Ariely" that are published in The Wall Street Journal. Not even a single entry is funny or enlightening. It is a series of mundane or downright silly questions/first-world-problems with Ariely's answers where he is trying too hard to be funny. I have liked his work in The Honest Truth About Dishonesty, which is why I had higher expectations but alas! Not even sure why WSJ finds it publishing worthy.
December 9, 2015
This is exactly the same book as Irrationally Yours. Bought them at the same time and did not realize that they have the same content with different titles. I wonder how many other people fell for it like I did.

抖机灵➕厌女 不行✋！

One of the most entertaining and endearing social scientists and behavioural economists gracing the field today, Dan Ariely decided to commence a column imaginatively titled "Ask Ariely" in the Wall Street Journal beginning 2012. This was meant to be a platform for readers to get a relief from various dilemmas plaguing their day-to-day existence, both professionally and personally.
This book is a collection of the questions posed by the readers and the solutions provided by Ariely. Ranging from the pesky (a most appropriate solution to prevent dog owners from not cleaning up after their canines) to the profound (whether a couple in their prevalent dispensation ought to have children), the problems span a wide sweep of head and heartaches. Combining a refreshing blend of astute wisdom and spontaneous wit, Professor Ariely comes up with convincing and creative answers to most of the flummoxes.
Covering a wide range of social science niggles such as "loss aversion", "depletion", "adaptation", "signaling" and "political correctness", the solutions proposed by Ariely provide a valuable insight into the window of human psychology and cultural mores. The suggestions are also amenable for practical experimentation and unbiased judgments based on resulting outcomes.
"Behavioural Science...." - time to rethink life!

This is a collection of his Q & A articles from the Wall Street Journal columns. He says that the questions people ask him taught him a lot about what kinds of issues and dilemmas people find puzzling and struggle with.
Prof Ariely is a behavioural scientist, so his answers are mostly spot on for me.....and are usually funny and entertaining too. He uncovers your hidden bias and also tries to provide answers that are interesting and helpful quite succinctly.
My fav ideas were about forcing decisions with coins. Faced with 2 choices, assign the answer to a coin toss. WHILE the coin is in the air, you will know your hearts desire because you will wish for one or the other answer as the result of the coin toss! Another "cute" solution was if you are unsure if you should marry your current girlfriend - try spending two weeks with your girlfriend's mother , that will give you an idea how life would feel with yr girlfriend in the decades to come !
A fast anecdote style pleasant read for end of week (TGIF !)

Damn it was short, I was able to finished in 2 days or even if I didn't prolong reading it, that to show I'm a slow reader. It start out late, most of the interesting response is in the half way mark. Most of are well thought response even though some are bland. It should have more story to it, more meat if it were to get me to engross into about the question at hand. I feel as if the main material is just not enough and they are filling up pages with full pages comic sketches and response that to fill empty spaces of the book, camouflaging between some of better response in the book. Well it still is entertaining and thought provoking. I like how he approach question as if it is a puzzle, similarly like how i like doing now but instead of question and like crack people heads and see kind of switch would make them tick.

Usually love Ariely but this is as pop psychology as it gets. Not really a book but instead a compilation of random questions asked by the readers of Ariely's column and Dan's effort to try to squeeze any behavioral economics into the 4-paragraph answer. Most of the stories are curious but most are not even interesting.
August 29, 2016
Very funny and light reading. As expected from Ariely.

หนังสือตอบคำถามสนุก ๆ มีหลักการมาอธิบายความไม่เป็นเหตุเป็นผล ให้มีคำตอบน่ายอมรับและคิดต่อได้ อ่านสนุก แป๊บเดียวจบ
August 22, 2023
Dan Ariely’s sarcastic tone and thought-provoking responses to readers’ common life questions make it a joyful read.
October 25, 2024
Humorous and enlightening! This book often provides surprising answers. Beyond its entertaining read, Dan's responses demonstrate that we can always find a positive perspective on our problems or questions by thinking outside the box and treating situations as experiments to explore. Most of the questions in the book relate to everyday decision-making, serving as a review of our understanding of the rationale behind our choices. Pick up this book for a good laugh, and see if your answers match the author's!

Okay
I probably should have read what the book was about before starting as I was expecting something a bit heavier and didn't realise it was blog excerpts until I'd bought it. Somewhere in-between amusing and informative, just not quite hitting either mark enough for me. There are little bits of behavioural economics in there but it's mostly light hearted joshing. I'll try another of his books with a different "vibe".

Had some nice answers to good questions but I found it a bit superficial and I didn't learn much about behavioral economics. And I have no idea why the reference to the dog in the title.

ผลงานของ Dan Ariely เล่มนี้ไม่ว้าวเท่าเล่มอื่นๆ เป็นแนว Q&A ที่บางคำตอบไม่ได้มีคำอธิบายเกี่ยวกับเศรษฐศาสตร์พฤติกรรม แต่เป็นการตอบแบบเอาสนุกมากกว่า
April 14, 2025
I could not finish this book, so I stopped reading it. It was fun before page 50, later it seems just repetition or the same pattern of writing.

A fascinating perspective on life’s questions and dilemmas through a psychological, social/behavioral economics lens.
September 7, 2025
This book was more of a collection of Agony-Uncle questions and answers from “Ask Ariely” in the Wall Street Journal advice column, as opposed to a book on behavioural economics like I was expecting. There were features of behavioural economics which was interesting, as well as more comical questions and answers. It was easy to read and dip in and out of over the months, and if it sounds interesting to you, give it a read.
August 28, 2024
It really wasn’t as helpful as I expected.. then again life is all about personal problems and it would be unfair to count on one book to solve it all. There’s still some notions I find pretty enlightening.
August 7, 2024
Light hearted, quick read.

My only knowledge of Dan Ariely has been his book on irrationality, a theme that goes in and out of favour, notwithstanding its public obviousness. In politics both sides of the street are played, with the people who think the electorate got it right focusing on voters' rationality, notwithstanding a campaign based on emotion, notably fear.
The author doesn't mention this particular conundrum in this book, which is essentially a collection of queries from what appears to be an advice column in the Wall Street Journal, not exactly a personal organ of choice as far as my political and social views go, notwithstanding some good pieces in the few issues I've read.
Ariely's method appears to be what's called behavioural economics; he doesn't really mouth slogans, though, and demonstrates an excellent sense of humour; his comment about what "service" might mean is very amusing. Much of this entertaining, well-written book involves responses that are really saying "it depends on what you want" which is the same as saying "what are your goals?" but more acceptably expressed, to me, anyway. I rarely have an answer to being asked about goals, because I don't think that way, my answers to "how's your day been so far?" are usually non-committal because I don't evaluate my life and I usually have no idea.
Ariely is probably more inclined to be on the goal side, but indirectly so, and this is one reason why this is such an agreeable read. I got some laughs, was bemused by some of the questions, identified others in myself and people I'd observed and encountered over the years, and enjoyed his logic.

No.32/2023 ~ Irrationally Yours : เศรษฐศาสตร์พฤติกรรมช่วยชีวิตฉันจากป้าข้างบ้าน
**************************************************
เราว่าเราเป็นแฟนหนังสือของคุณ Dan Ariely อยู่นะ
หนังสือของคุณ Dan ที่แปลเป็นภาษาไทยมีอยู่ 6 เล่มกับสนพ.วีเลิร์น เราอ่านไปแล้ว 3 เล่ม เล่มนี้เป็นเล่มที่ 4 (มีดองอีก 2 เล่ม)

จริงๆเล่มนี้ก็ไม่ได้ถึงกับผิดหวังนะ เพียงแต่ว่าใน 92 บท มันซ้ำกับที่เราเคยอ่านเจอมาแล้ว 20 บท (20บทนี่คือที่จำได้นะ ไม่ได้หยิบหนังสือมาเทียบกันตรงๆ) มันเลยทำให้เราแอบเซ็งอยู่นิดหน่อย แต่คืออีก 72 บทที่เหลือก็อ่านสนุกตามสไตล์คุณ Dan เค้านั่นแหละ
ถ้าใครยังไม่เคยอ่านหนังสือของคุณ Dan มา แนะนำมากๆ เป็นหนังสือที่รวบรวมคำถามจากทางบ้าน แล้วมาตอบให้ในแบบฉบับของคุณ Dan ทำให้เราเห็นมุมมองใหม่ๆของเศรษฐศาสตร์พฤติกรรมด้วย
แต่ถ้าใครเคยอ่านเล่มอื่นๆมาบ้างแล้ว ก็อาจจะมีแอบเซ็งๆเหมือนเรานี่แหละ
ปล. ยังรักคุณ Dan เหมือนเดิมนะ ที่ดองอีก 2 เล่มจะรีบจบไวๆ(จริงจริ๊งงงงงงง)
ปล1. เล่มนี้อ่านง่ายมาก รวดเดียวจบ 1-2 ชม. เองก๊าา

A collection of Wall Street Journal columns where the readers ask the 'expert' for advice on practical problems or situations. The author's response is sometimes insightful, explaining in Layman's terms the theory and application of behavioural economics. Occasionally, the author is simply giving a humoristic answer to spark laughter rather than to answer the question. On every few pages, there are cartoon jokes. So while the book is a light read that may challenge here and there your understanding and approach to certain life situations, or make you laugh - it lacks depth, complex topics are answered in 1 page, and it covers plenty of unrelatable topics and odd, impractical answers or advice. Here's an example of an odd advice: "When you are shopping for jewellery or flowers for your soul mate, remind her what a pain it was for you".

Buku ini adalah kumpulan tulisan dari kolom "Ask Ariely" yang dimiliki oleh Dan Ariely di Wall Street Journal. Pertanyaannya ada yang serius ada yang “meh” banget. Pun jawaban yang diberikan Dan, ada yang serius ada pula yang “heh”. Meskipun demikian, saya cukup tahu dari jawaban-jawaban yang ia berikan, selera humornya sebelas-duabelas-lah dengan Hawking.
Buku ini ramah dibaca bahkan bagi orang yang belum memiliki dasar-dasar pengetahuan mengenai Behavioural Economics.

May 22, 2021It is a wonderfully witty book. It drops nuggets of information here and there which you can further study on (oh yo, curosity is the key right). One of the most relaxing reads for me!
I was always a fan of Dan Ariely (attending his lectures on Coursera years back). He is dedicated to make learning fun and available for everyone to enjoy. Dan Ariely

这个作者每次给的两性建议都让我皱眉
读者来信：和女友在一起6年，热情消散，进入comfortable阶段，是离开还是留下？
他的回应：生命在于尝试新体验，你应该give up ur comfort and give pleasure a chance
（其实他前面说得也挺好的，对来信者的年龄/过往感情经历等等不了解，那其实贸然给出这种建议我觉得也挺不负责的。
想起来之前听dear sugar 里，一个20多岁的女生遇到了一个各方面很合契的soul mate ，但是对方有一种特殊疾病，40多岁就会被病痛折磨逐渐去世，是现在离开还是继续？
Cheryl给的回应是：很难给出好的建议。这应该是双方一起商量的结果，看对方意愿如何？是会想要在一起还是怕连累对方？不过如果你是我的女儿，我会告诉你enjoy it while it lasts.不要去想太多。不要作出commitment，也不用现在贸然就结婚生孩子，多去相处。

I enjoyed how the open format gave Dan room to flex his funny muscle, he really is a very funny guy.
But as much as I enjoyed the the easy going and slightly informative style I have found his other work to be profound so in comparison it scores a three.
I think his other work anchored me on a higher expectation

Practical problems and very scientific solutions from a behavioral lens. The book has some rib tickling humor that will go down very well with most people. Dan Ariely has managed to come up with very practicable solutions towards some unnerving problems, some difficult issues that keep cropping up all the time. A fun read and a nice starter into the world of practical behavioral economics...
