How We Decide

Jonah Lehrer

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

If you've ever wanted to understand how the human mind works on a decision making basis, this book is excellent for understanding both the why and what to expect; much of what we do is counter-intuitive to what you'd logically expect.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
