Joseph Myren: AWESOME

Jorge Jure: Buen libro material resistente, con reflexiones sobre la percepción del dinero

Mexico on Sep 16, 2023

Jeffrer: "Do you do this, this, and this like everyone else? Well, here is a name for that, its called Blah Blah Blah" Rinse and repeat again and again and again. That's it. That's the book. Not particularly insightful at all. We all already know what we do around the issue of money and personal finance. Dan's previous book "Predictably Irrational" was brilliant, this isn't. Jeff spends half a chapter retracing every excruciating detail of his honeymoon. By the third page, I wanted to vomit blood it was so uninteresting. If you are looking for anything in this book that can help you manage your money better, you could start by not purchasing this book.

Gaetano Vivirito: Great book aiming at explaining spending psicology and behaviours. The authors manage to explain concepts in an easy going mood helping us reflect on our biases

Taylor Ellwood: Dollars and Sense is an excellent book that helps readers explore their relationship with money and why they have the spending habits they have. A good 2/3rds of the book is dedicated to uncovering the behaviors behind our spending habits and showing people how to recognize those behaviors. The last 1/3rd of the book is focused on possible solutions and changes we can make to be better spenders of our own money. I recommend this book if you want to understand your own spending habits.

NinjaReader: O livro é bom, é divertido, cumpre sua função de entreter, de dar prazer ao leitor. É, contudo, excessivamente longo, o que não prejudica se o leitor fizer uma leitura mais lenta, porque daí serve de revisão. Não é uma obra-prima, mas é bom e vale a pena comprar. Ajudará o leitor a se prevenir de algumas armadilhas muito bem exploradas pelo mundo do comércio: aproveitam-se as fragilidades humanas para induzi-lo a realizar escolhas. Recomendo, para quem busca mais informação sobre o tema, que leia "Nudge", de Richard Thaler. Somos um tanto manipulados e temos que estar alertas para fazer escolhas que realmente sejam boas para nós.
Boa linguagem, bom de ler, bom para praticar o inglês e ganhar vocabulário. Dei cinco estrelas porque o autor preocupa-se com o leitor ao utilizar linguagem acessível e tentar ser divertido. Valeu a intenção!

It is not a masterpiece, but surely a good book. Easy to read, good-humoured, practical. I bought other Ariely's books. He is a great author.About the topic: the books goes through and through soem cognitive flaws that we humans have got. Those "quirks" make make us sitting ducks for companies preying on our tendency to...

John W. Pearson: What’s not to like when the co-author of this book describes himself as “just another Princeton-educated lawyer turned award-winning comedian, author, speaker, and advocate for behavioral economics.”

Here are my two take-aways from this book:
#1. I’ve been misthinking about money. Yikes. This book has immediately changed the way I think about how I spend money—and I’m not a spender.
#2. Besides being well-researched and very practical, this book is hilarious!

Fifty pages in, I started marking the funny lines with an exclamation point. No joke: my well-underlined pages include more than 100 exclamation points. (LOL!)

THE BIG IDEA: “…this book is about the odd, wild, and yes, completely irrational ways we approach spending decisions and about the forces that cause us to overvalue some things and undervalue others.”

After laying out a very convincing case, Dan Ariely (the professor) and Jeff Kreisler (the funny guy) invest their final five chapters on how to “build on the shoulders of flawed thinking.” Insightful ideas.

Examples of flawed thinking:
--“Some people go on a $10,000 vacation but spend twenty minutes each...

Robo: I love Dan's books. This one is funny and insightful. Not as jam-packed with learnings as some of his others but a worthy a read all the same. People in the financial services industry should read it. Hey Dan, I am waiting for a credit card company that shows you in real time what your balance is on your card (perhaps on your phone) to slow spending. While that is at odds with what the Credit Card industry wants, it would be good for the consumer. Hey Master Card, Visa, Amex - you listening. Help your clients spend - less! While counter-intuitive, it would be a great position for a startup credit card company.

Joselyn Quintero: Dan has been my irrational master during the last 4 years, so whatever I say, won't be objective.

His studies had helped me to make better decisions everyday, based on what is important for me, and not for the aceptance of others. This book is as good as the others, but with updated insights about purchasing behaviours and experiential investments. The stories shared increase the spicy tone of the teaches (I'm pretty sure these come from Jeff).

If you want to learn about your own traps everytime you purchase something, I recommend you to read this book and keep it next to you credit card, your purse, or your wallet.
