Predictably irrational

Just finished reading a nice book about the irrational behaviour of humans. A collection of strange/funny/interesting things people do even if they do not want to or would not think of doing in the first place … anyway, its a nice book also introducing a lot of experiments that have been carried out (mostly on MIT students) to test these behaviours.
Its called: “Predictably irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions”.

Now I am trying to settle down a little bit in my new room … before trying to figure out my actual task for the next months …

btw The PPJB Temple is still sacred ;)
