Overview
This Dan Ariely 2 Books Collection Set brings together two of the world's most talked-about behavioural economics titles in brand-new paperback: The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty and Predictably Irrational. Written by Duke University professor and three-time New York Times bestselling author Dan Ariely, both books use witty, real-world experiments to show why humans consistently act irrationally, cheat, and make choices that defy classic economic logic — ideal for fans of popular psychology, self-help, and business non-fiction.
About the Books
Predictably Irrational was Ariely's ground-breaking debut, asking why intelligent people so often make illogical decisions in everyday life — from overpaying for coffee to choosing the wrong romantic partner. Through a series of clever, real-world experiments, Ariely shows that our mistakes are not random but systematic and predictable, uncovering the hidden forces of pricing, expectation, and social norms that quietly steer our choices. The book became a global bestseller for its playful, accessible take on serious behavioural science.
Ariely followed this with The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, turning his attention from irrational spending to irrational ethics. Drawing on ingenious experiments conducted in classrooms, offices, and even his own life, Ariely investigates why ordinary, otherwise honest people cheat a little — and what allows businesses and individuals alike to rationalise dishonest behaviour. He explores what makes cheating "contagious," why getting caught matters less than we assume, and how small changes to our environment can nudge us toward greater honesty. Together, the two titles make an ideal introduction — or gift — for anyone curious about the psychology behind everyday decisions, dishonesty, and the strange, predictable ways our minds really work.
