Dan Ariely Book order (chronological)

Renomovaný sociológ, profesor a autor bestsellerov Dan Ariely prináša svoju doteraz najnaliehavejšiu knihu – strhujúci pohľad na ľudský rozmer krízy dezinformácií –, v ktorej skúma, prečo si inak racionálni ľudia osvojujú hlboko iracionálne presvedčenia. Dezinformácie nás denne zasahujú od sociálnych sietí po najbližšie vzťahy a riešenia často skresľuje straníckosť a subjektívne „pravdy“.V knihe Prečo sa mýlime Ariely tvrdí, že pochopiť príťažlivosť dezinformácií znamená pochopiť psychologickú a sociálnu cestu k mylnému presvedčeniu: k nedôvere voči všeobecne prijímaným faktom, k „alternatívnym pravdám“ a napokon ku konšpiráciám. Dezinformácie oslovujú vrodené sklony naprieč celým politickým spektrom. Na základe rokov výskumu aj osobnej skúsenosti autor analyzuje emocionálne, kognitívne, osobnostné a sociálne faktory, ktoré ženú ľudí dolu pomyselným lievikom mylných presvedčení, a ukazuje, že za určitých okolností sa to môže stať komukoľvek.Autor však ponúka aj nádej. Hoci umelá inteligencia dokáže vo veľkom generovať presvedčivé klamstvá, poznanie síl, ktoré živia mylné presvedčenia, zvyšuje odolnosť jednotlivcov i spoločnosti. Boj s nimi si žiada stratégiu založenú skôr na empatii než na konflikte. Keď pochopíme, že ide predovšetkým o ľudský problém, môžeme sa stať súčasťou riešenia.

Why do our headaches persist after we take a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a fifty-cent aspirin? Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save twenty-five cents on a can of soup? When it comes to making decisions in our lives, we think we're making smart, rational choices. But are we? In this newly revised and expanded edition of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller, Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, we consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predictable—making us predictably irrational.
