*by A***1 on 18 March 2015*

Interesting book but having read Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow, I'm not sure I learned much.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Field experiments everywhere
*by G***S on 18 September 2014*

What I like to this book is the way the 2 authors try to apply as much as possible the "out-of-lab" or field experiments to real world. It is very interesting that some thoughts and theories and hypothesis seem to describe so elegantly the reality until the reality itself proves otherwise. One example: theory says that children should not be motivated with money in order to learn because if we do this then they will make learning linked to an external motivation while we should strive for their internal motivation on learning. But guess what?! For some children it does work! "Bribing" them with money or gifts can actually make them to want to learn more.
