79/100
👍 Worth It
With endorsements from Camerer and Loewenstein and a second edition praised for dramatic pedagogical improvement, this is the textbook for university students entering behavioral economics. Worked examples, case studies, and discussion questions make dense theory approachable. Not a page-turner for the casual reader, but it is exactly what it sets out to be for its audience.
