About the book
A revealing study of how scarcity of time, money, and resources affects our behavior and decision-making. Mullainathan and Shafir demonstrate that when we face limitations, our minds function differently, often leading us to make errors in judgment that worsen our situation.
With practical examples and rigorous scientific research, the book explains why poor people make choices that keep them poor, why busy people postpone important tasks, and how scarcity creates a mental "tunnel" that prevents us from thinking long-term. Essential reading for understanding the psychology behind seemingly irrational decisions.
