About the book
The three questions that organize Jonathan Baron's text on human cognition and rationality: how people ought to think, what keeps them from thinking that way, and how thinking and decision making can be improved. The fourth edition, first published in 2007, keeps that framework along with its expanded treatment of moral thinking, risk, Bayes' theorem and utilitarianism. With students in mind, it concentrates on building an understanding of the basic concepts of judgment and decision making. Across its editions it has been a required text and reference in the study of how people think and decide, and it is also offered to readers in medicine, law, economics, business and psychology.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb noted in an Amazon review that he was buying a replacement after his copy went missing, and offered that repurchase as his verdict on the book.

People vote with their wallet --particularly when they do it a second time, when they REpurchase. Those who believe in the "revelation of preferences" should note that there are books one buys again when a copy is lost --particularly when they are read cover to cover.
I am buying another copy of this book as mine was lost or misplaced. That should speak volumes.
