This book explores rational choice behavior in various situations: who to spend the rest of your life with (a choice under certainty); whether to undergo an operation with a mortality rate of 25%, whether to fly when facing the risk of a terrorist attack (a choice under uncertainty, the former has a known probability, and the latter has an unknown probability); in what form way to manage personal property (an uncertain state of special circumstances involving money); what choice a country should make when it learns that other countries are also hesitant to expand nuclear capabilities (strategic choice); the relative advantages of the "simple majority principle" and proportional representation in electoral activities (collective choice).
Reader comments
The biggest inspiration that "Choice Theory" gives us is nothing more than this: when it comes to "choice" issues, there should be less irrational choices and more rational factors. The choice of life is like this, the fate of the country is like this, and the international games are not like this.
The writing style of this book is concise and clear, and the content is easy to understand. It is very suitable for college students like us to read. The author explains the choice theory through various examples, making the originally complex problem simple and interesting. I especially liked the parts about personal property management and collective choices in the book, which were very practical and made me think more about my future. I recommend reading it to friends who are looking for a job, you will gain a lot!
