      Endlich Ordnung im Alltagschaos David steckt in Schwierigkeiten, ständig vergisst er seine Hausaufgaben und kommt zu spät zur Schule. Ms. Morales, seine Lehrerin, hat jetzt die Faxen dicke und schreibt den Eltern. Nicht gut! Dabei hat David die besten Absichten, es kommt nur halt immer was dazwischen: Freunde, Fernsehen usw. Die Eltern drohen mit ernsthaften Konsequenzen. Doch unerwartete Hilfe kommt von seinem Hunderoboter Dot und aus der Welt der Wissenschaft. Durch eine Reihe kreativer Experimente kann David seinen Eltern beweisen, dass seine Probleme nicht persönlich sind, sondern universell. Das hilft, sich selbst zu überlisten, doch mal pünktlich aufzustehen und die Hausaufgaben zumindest deutlich häufiger zu machen. Voller Fakten und Experimente, Humor und Empathie

      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.

      Many people understand humor's power intuitively, but when it comes to using it with intention far fewer know how. As a result, humor is vastly under-leveraged in most workplaces. Research shows that humor is one of the most powerful tools we have for accomplishing serious things. Aaker and Bagdonas draw on findings by behavioral scientists, advice from world-class comedians, and stories from real-life business leaders to reveal how humor works and how you can make greater and better use of it. -- adapted from jacket

      Three-time New York Times bestselling author Dan Ariely teams up with legendary The New Yorker cartoonist William Haefeli to present an expanded, illustrated collection of his immensely popularWall Street Journal advice column, “Ask Ariely”. Behavioral economist Dan Ariely revolutionized the way we think about ourselves, our minds, and our actions in his books Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality, and The Honest Truth about Dishonesty. Ariely applies this scientific analysis of the human condition in his “Ask Ariely” Q & A column in the Wall Street Journal, in which he responds to readers who write in with personal conundrums ranging from the serious to the curious: What can you do to stay calm when you’re playing the volatile stock market? What’s the best way to get someone to stop smoking? How can you maximize the return on your investment at an all-you-can-eat buffet? Is it possible to put a price on the human soul? Can you ever rationally justify spending thousands of dollars on a Rolex? In Ask Ariely, a broad variety of economic, ethical, and emotional dilemmas are explored and addressed through text and images. Using their trademark insight and wit, Ariely and Haefeli help us reflect on how we can reason our way through external and internal challenges. Readers will laugh, learn, and most importantly gain a new perspective on how to deal with the inevitable problems that plague our daily life.

      Dan Ariely, behavioral economist and the New York Times bestselling author of The Upside of Irrationality and Predictably Irrational, examines the contradictory forces that drive us to cheat and keep us honest, in this groundbreaking look at the way we behave: The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty. From ticket-fixing in our police departments to test-score scandals in our schools, from our elected leaders’ extra-marital affairs to the Ponzi schemes undermining our economy, cheating and dishonesty are ubiquitous parts of our national news cycle—and inescapable parts of the human condition. Drawing on original experiments and research, in the vein of Freakonomics, The Tipping Point, and Survival of the Sickest, Ariely reveals—honestly—what motivates these irrational, but entirely human, behaviors.
