How We Decide
by Jonah Lehrer
Thinking About Thinking (12/12/2008)
This is one of those books that you sort of have to force yourself to read. Then after you are done, you are glad you read it, but would not read it again. I think it is well written, with plenty of examples to illustrate his points. I think it is similar to Blink by Malcolm Gladwell.

I wish it were an audio book. Perhaps the reason I prefer listening to a book, rather than reading it, will be the subject of Mr. Lehrer’s next book.
