“Priceless<\/a><\/strong>” by William Poundstone is one book that this Calgary reporter\/blogger knows will worth more than the price of the book. I will be sharing more of the insights and wisdom learned from the book in upcoming articles.<\/p>\n

In the mean time, here are some reviews of “Priceless<\/a><\/strong>“,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cPriceless is an instructive and entertaining romp through the hits of recent research on decision making, which will leave you amused, smarter, and wondering about what money and prices really mean.\u201d<\/strong> \u2014Daniel Kahneman, professor emeritus, Princeton University, and winner of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economics<\/p>\n

\u201cThe psychology of prices is, to an extent, the psychology of life, and thus the lessons of Priceless are indeed life lessons. Poundstone’s lively descriptions of the irrational quirks that characterize our behavior are engaging and enlightening. Take it with you when you’re thinking of buying (or selling) something. It might save you a bundle.\u201d<\/strong> \u2014John Allen Paulos, author of Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences and Irreligion: A Mathematician Explains Why the Arguments for God Just Don’t Add Up<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you can get this book for under $100, grab it! After you read it, you will better understand why the price you paid felt like a bargain.\u201d<\/strong> \u2014Max Bazerman, professor of business administration, Harvard Business School, and coauthor of Judgment in Managerial Decision Making<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
