BATB score: 7.7/10
Why humans understand the importance of saving, of having emergency money, and of planning for retirement, but yet, humans fail to just that.
Best for: anyone who has money-saving issues making irrational money decisions with sunk cost fallacy, annual bonus shopping spree, and/or me-first presence day gratification
Best to: if you never ever read any other Dan Ariely book, consider to start Dan Ariely's wonderful series with this relatable book about money
Best as: are you curious why 'despite their big paydays, about 70 percent of lottery winners go broke within three years'? if yes, then read this book
Cheers to: talking about money more openly, it can make all of us wiser
