Predictably Irrational

Do you think that people are predictably irrational because if you do, understanding them will help you be more patient, loving and tolerant?

If you want to understand human behavior, thinking of people as predictably irrational can help a lot. I thought of people for much of my life as logical decision-making reasonable human beings.

When I read a book called “Predictably Irrational,” it helped me a lot to be more patient and loving and tolerant with people, and understand people’s decision-making processes, especially my own.

Frustration comes up when we look around and we see our family members, our friends, people doing things that from our point of view is irrational. It doesn’t make sense why they would do that.

When we look at our own behavior, we often will attribute a lot of logic to ourselves like, “Oh, I’m just making these reasonable decisions.”

According to research, experiments and our own qualitative experiences, often when we make predictably irrational decisions, it gives us a lot of patience and understanding.

For example, with me six years ago, I used to compulsively drink alcohol and at the same time feel like I was deciding to that I had a choice. I thought, “Well, I want to have fun, have a good time, lighten up and relax.”

From my point of view, it was perfectly logical that I would drink alcohol. If you asked my mother, my wife, my friends, my family, nobody else thought it was perfectly logical because if I was a rational person, I would have never drunk alcohol again after all the bad experiences I had from drinking alcohol, and yet I continued to do it because my behavior was predictably irrational.

Predictably irrational is a mindset where you’re not considering all the relevant facts.
