Brief review: Dan Ariely makes an excellent case to prove that we think irrationally. We think we are in control but we are not. You will relate to so many examples he gives. Why our headaches persist after taking a cheap painkiller but disappear when we take a more expensive one? Why dealing with cash makes us more honest? Why the mind gets what it expects? Why we are happy to do things, but not when paid to do them? A well researched book and interesting read. I am sure you would like this. If you do, also read 'The Art of Creative Thinking' by Rolf Dobelli.
