Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Global Code of Irrationality is a groundbreaking exploration of the fundamental disconnect between human thought and rational action. Moving beyond standard behavioral economics, this book dissects why our decision-making is systematically flawed, and crucially, how those flaws manifest differently across diverse cultural and global environments-from the digital marketplaces of Silicon Valley to the bustling bazaars of Asia.The book analyzes key cognitive biases, including the Zero-Price Effect (the magnetic pull of 'free'), Anchoring, Loss Aversion, the Sunk Cost Fallacy, and the Illusion of Control. Each chapter exposes the universal psychological root of a bias while illustrating its unique cultural expression. By contrasting contexts like high-trust vs. high-friction economies, the author reveals that while the impulse toward irrationality is universal, the mechanism of error is deeply context-dependent.More than just identifying errors, this book provides the tools to use this knowledge. It teaches readers to become their own Choice Architects-designing environments that nudge them toward better outcomes-and to employ the Cultural Mirror-understanding the social forces that shape their systematic mistakes.The Global Code of Irrationality is essential reading for anyone seeking to master the hidden variables that govern human behavior, whether in marketing, personal finance, negotiation, or simply the pursuit of a more deliberate life. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
