Following his popular 2008 volume, Predictably Irrational (CH, Oct'08, 46-0969), Ariely (Duke Univ.) returns to the intersection of psychology and economics (aka behavioral economics) with Upside.  He plants his rational economist straw man and then uses field and lab experiments to test (and debunk) basic theoretical models and assumptions.  Part 1 is devoted to ferreting out the positive side of what the author alleges are irrational human behaviors--this rational economist reviewer begs to differ--in the workplace; part 2 focuses on how all this influences decision making at home.  Topics include big employee bonuses and compensation schemes, IKEA, online dating, justice and revenge, charitable giving, interpersonal relations, and emotions.  But mostly Ariely is telling stories, many highly personal in nature and derived from his own tragic, life-threatening accident as a teen and his experiences and odyssey as an adult.  Unfortunately, in many instances what may simply be human frailties come across as a value-laden, normative, and almost chip-on-the-shoulder judgments and disdain for markets, bankers, corporate employees, and situations Ariely has confronted.  A well-referenced, engaging, and entertaining book, but not to be considered the last--or even correct--word on these subjects by any means.   Summing Up: Recommended.  General readers; students, lower-division undergraduate and up; faculty. -- A.

Behavioral economist and New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational Dan Ariely returns to offer a much-needed take on the irrational decisions that influence our dating lives, our workplace experiences, and our general behaviour, up close and personal. In The Upside of Irrationality, behavioral economist Dan Ariely will explore the many ways in which our behaviour often leads us astray in terms of our romantic relationships, our experiences in the workplace, and our temptations to cheat. Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking research, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social norms and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities. Among the topics Dan explores are: * What we think will make us happy and what really makes us happy; * How we learn to love the ones we are with; * Why online dating doesn't work, and how we can improve on it; * Why learning more about people make us like them less; * Why large bonuses can make CEOs less productive; * How to really motivate people at work; * Why bad directions can help us; * How we fall in love with our ideas; * How we are motivated by revenge; and * What motivates us to cheat. Drawing on the same experimental methods that made Predictably Irrational such a hit, Dan will emphasize the important role that irrationality plays in our day-to-day decisionmaking-not just in our financial marketplace, but in the most hidden aspects of our lives.
