Why do our friends have more friends than we do? How do you book
the best available seats on a plane? And if jogging for ten minutes
adds eight minutes to our life expectancy, should we still go
jogging? When dealing with the real world, it's often not enough to
act logically - you must be able to put yourself in the shoes of a
clever competitor and think about how they might respond. Whether
you are dealing with events on the scale of the Cuban Missile
Crisis or letting go of anger, game theory holds the key to better
outcomes and lasting happiness. Full of fascinating thought
experiments and revealing stories, Reason to Be Happy is a paean to
the power of rationality. If you want to have a good life and even
make the world a better place, you can start by thinking clearly.
