Overview:
Delve into three of Dan Ariely’s most influential explorations of how we think, decide, and act. This 3 Book Collection brings together The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, Predictably Irrational, and Behavioural Economics Saved My Dog for a comprehensive introduction to behavioural economics and everyday psychology. Ariely’s blend of rigorous experiments, sharp storytelling, and practical insights makes complex ideas approachable for curious readers, students, and professionals alike. You’ll discover why we cheat more than we admit, why rational choice isn’t as reliable as we like to believe, and how small design tweaks in daily life can steer decisions toward better outcomes. The set works brilliantly as a cohesive reading journey or as three stand-alone foundations in behavioural science, all presented in an accessible paperback format that’s ideal for study, gifting, or personal growth.

What Makes This Collection Special:
What sets this trio apart is how neatly it maps the arc from our imperfect impulses to smarter decision-making. The Honest Truth About Dishonesty unpacks the social and cognitive forces behind cheating, offering actionable strategies to foster integrity in work and school. Predictably Irrational peels back the curtains on everyday irrationalities, turning everyday frustrations into teachable moments about money, happiness, and choice architecture. Behavioural Economics Saved My Dog adds a playful, relatable edge, translating theory into real-life decisions with wit and warmth. Together, they form a complete, human-facing primer on why we behave the way we do—and how to shape choices for a better personal and professional life.

Books Included in This Collection:
The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty
This exploration dives into the surprising frequency and mechanics of everyday cheating, showing how rationalizations and social context shape conduct. Ariely’s experiments render clear, memorable lessons about integrity, temptation, and how to design environments that reduce dishonesty. The result is a practical guide for classrooms, workplaces, and households seeking to understand—and improve—honesty in daily life.

Predictably Irrational
Why do intelligent people make irrational choices? Ariely reveals consistent patterns in our thinking — from the lure of “free” to the power of social norms — that explain why price, scarcity, and framing can sway decisions. With witty anecdotes and accessible experiments, this book reframes everyday decisions as predictable, not personal failings, and offers strategies to rethink budgeting, preferences, and resistance to temptation.

Behavioural Economics Saved My Dog
Blending humor with insight, this title applies behavioural economics to ordinary, relatable dilemmas. Through practical stories and light-hearted chapters, Ariely demonstrates how small shifts in setup, timing, and context can lead to smarter outcomes in money, health, time management, and relationships. Illustrated with cartoons by William Haefeli, the book keeps big ideas approachable while delivering genuinely useful takeaways for readers navigating the quirks of daily life.
