Have you ever wondered why you can't resist that free sample at the grocery store, even when you're not hungry? Or why you refuse to sell concert tickets for $300 when you'd never pay that much yourself? These seemingly illogical behaviors aren't random quirks - they're predictable patterns in human decision-making. After suffering severe burns in an explosion at age 18, Dan Ariely found himself observing human behavior from a unique outsider perspective. This launched his career investigating the hidden forces that shape our choices, revealing that our irrational tendencies aren't random mistakes but consistent, predictable patterns that affect everything from how we shop to how we love. Our brains are wired for comparison, not absolute evaluation. This explains why retailers strategically place a $2,000 watch next to a $10,000 one - suddenly $2,000 feels like a bargain. In one experiment, I offered MIT students subscription choices for The Economist: web-only for $59, print-only for $125, or print-and-web for $125. When all three options were available, 84% chose the print-and-web combo. But when I removed the middle "decoy" option, only 32% chose the combo. Nothing about the actual value changed - just the context of comparison. This relativity effect influences nearly everything. House-hunters choose between similar colonials rather than comparing them to contemporaries because the comparison feels easier. Dating apps strategically show less attractive profiles before yours to make you seem more appealing by comparison. Even our happiness is affected - when executive salaries became public, compensation packages skyrocketed as each CEO compared themselves to peers.
