Customers, suppliers, and employees. Telling lies is just so natural, and so hard to root out of human behaviour. I enjoy reading Ariely so much on the irrational constituents of economic behaviour. This book while not quite as important as his earlier titles, still proved enjoyable to read. ( ) A good read about Ariely's research on lying. I do agree with much of what is discussed in this book, but I am still left with a few questions that I would like to see investigated. 1. Many people did lie or cheat in different circumstances. Were there any consistent behaviors in some people? If so, what was "unique" about those consistent liars or honest people? 2. Does religion, gender, education, age or any other traits change the results? Most of the studies occur on college campuses, which are not statistically applicable to all of humanity. 3. I would like to see more research into what methods would work in helping individuals see their own actions as dishonest. People always want a good self image and will be creative in telling themselves stories to explain their actions as good and not dishonest. What are some ways to help us keep from lying to ourselves? Ariely briefly looks at this issue, but more depth would be great. Seemed to cover a lot of the same things as Predictably Irrational, or at least refer to the same kinds of studies, but it's narrated by Simon Jones (the original Arthur Dent from the old BBC radio and TV series), who makes everything seem hilarious in a deadpan sort of way that, combined with the writing style, makes what is essentially a summary of a bunch of studies about humans being kinda terrible seem really fun. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The author, a behavioral economist, challenges our preconceptions about dishonesty; we all cheat, whether it is copying a paper in the classroom, or white lies on our expense accounts. He explores how unethical behavior works in the personal, professional, and political worlds, and how it affects all of use, even as we think of ourselves as having high moral standards. He explores the question of dishonesty from Washington to Wall Street, and the classroom to the workplace, to examine why cheating is so prevalent and what can be done to prevent it.
