Sway
The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior
Recommendation
Based on their extensive knowledge of organizations and psychology, brothers Ori Brafman and Rom Brafman explain one major concept of self-undermining – and often unconscious – human behavior in each short chapter of their book. Then, they link the chapters together to present a comprehensive overview of behavioral patterns and issues. They cite compelling studies and fascinating examples, offering stories about irrational behaviors and the psychological forces behind them. The Brafmans seek to enlighten everyone who ever made a decision for the wrong reasons and anyone who wants to avoid the “sway” of irrational forces. Their clear conclusions will resonate with CEOs and others who bear responsibility and want to make more rational decisions and stay out of their own way. This readable, applicable manual could help you make big, important decisions – and all the little ones along the way.
