Predictably Irrational was a very interesting class. When we are kids we have a misperception that older people are heroes that always know how to act rationally. Rationality was what I used to differentiate teenagers from adults. When I got older and integrated better with “adult’s world” I was surprised how irrational anyone can be. And today I believe that NO ONE is 100% sane or rational. Everybody has their own craziness. I also realized how predictable people can be, and in behaviorism classes, I learned how easy is to manipulate people’s decisions and actions when we discover that it is all about how confident people perceive us. Looking at situations as a whole, always being (or pretend to be) confident while acknowledging people’s irrationality and insecurities are certainly the most powerful tools to manipulate any outcome.
