About the Book

Blending humor and behavioral economics, the New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational delves into the truly illogical world of personal finance to help people better understand why they make bad financial decisions, and gives them the knowledge they need to make better ones. Why does paying for things often feel like it causes physical pain?Why does it cost you money to act as your own real estate agent?Why are we comfortable overpaying for something now just because we've overpaid for it before? In Dollars and Sense, world renowned economist Dan Ariely answers these intriguing questions and many more as he explains how our irrational behavior often interferes with our best intentions when it comes to managing our finances. Partnering with financial comedian and writer Jeff Kreisler, Ariely takes us deep inside our minds to expose the hidden motivations that are secretly driving our choices about money. Exploring a wide range of everyday topics--from credit card debt and household budgeting to holiday sales--Ariely and Kreisler demonstrate how our ideas about dollars and cents are often wrong and cost us more than we know. Mixing case studies and anecdotes with tangible advice and lessons, they cut through the unconscious fears and desires driving our worst financial instincts and teach us how to improve our money habits. Fascinating, engaging, funny, and essential, Dollars and Sense is a sound investment, providing us with the practical tools we need to understand and improve our financial choices, save and spend smarter, and ultimately live better.

Review :
"[A] surprisingly breezy exploration of the most common mental blocks to building wealth...It's the rare kind of book that makes you feel a lot smarter, while simultaneously giving you actionable tips for improving your daily life." -- "Business Insider.com" "A lively look at how even the wisest among us are too often fools eager to part with our money...A user-friendly and often entertaining treatise on how to be a more discerning, vastly more aware handler of money." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "Engaging and funny, rife with anecdotes and advice, the book defangs a difficult topic while teaching a lot." -- "Publishers Weekly" "If you want to get better at making good financial decisions, read Dollars and Sense...What the two authors do brilliantly is take behavioral economics and make it accessible." -- "Washington Post" "This engaging guide...lay[s] bare the ways monetary value is misunderstood and incorrectly assessed...As the work comes to a close, its attention shifts toward the future, considering suggestions for retirement plans and HR department...Highly recommended." -- "Library Journal (starred review)" "Without sounding like he's performing, narrator Simon Jones' dramatic flair and wry personality add color to the material. His phrasing is slow, but his beautiful melodic palette and superb timing make every sentence clear and full of impact...This tangible advice about financial reasoning errors will give listeners new power over how they spend their money. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award." -- "AudioFile"
