Why Smart People Make Dumb Decisions-And How to Use It
What if I told you that offering someone a massive bonus might actually make them perform worse? That the very incentives we've built our economy around could be sabotaging the outcomes we seek? This counterintuitive reality sits at the heart of human irrationality-a fascinating terrain where our assumptions about logic, motivation, and decision-making crumble under scrutiny. We like to think we're rational creatures, carefully weighing costs and benefits before acting. Yet the truth is far messier and infinitely more interesting. Our brains didn't evolve to maximize efficiency or make perfect choices-they evolved to navigate a complex social world where emotions, meaning, and connection matter as much as cold calculation. Understanding this gap between who we think we are and who we actually are isn't just intellectually fascinating; it's the key to designing better lives, workplaces, and societies.
