Amos Oz

People in his kibbutz looked for him for guidance, because this man was in top physical and mental shape devoting all of his life to learning as much as necessary and the remainder to stay in peak shape. As one can imagine, he would expect the same of his son, and he

The most fascinating chapter for me was Chapter 8, Behavioral Economics, more specifically the two-part process of our brains, System 1 and System 2, the most common biases, and the two systems interaction with each other. I’ve always been fascinated by human behavior and thought; why we do the things we do, what causes our actions, and why we constantly indulge in self-destructing habits and tendencies even though we have a clear understanding of the adverse effects of those choices.

This tends to be the way that people think and feel when they are spending money on a certain good or service. The great economist Adam Smith was the first follower of this idea through his book “The theory of moral sentiments” which dates back to 1759.

This cost-benefit analysis continues until shopping or staying is perceived with marginally greater utility. Though
