This book is about choices and it couldn't be complete without mentioning the classic example that everybody has surely heard about. The one where if you wait longer, you'll get a bigger prize. In her chapter, Senses and Sensibility, I thought it was interesting how by hiding snacks under an opaque lid, "the average waiting times increased by up to 60%" among the children.
This might be an especially interesting book if you happen to be taking a statistics class while reading it. It makes the class more interesting.
