"If you cry 'Forward!' you must without fail make plain in what direction to go. Don't you see that if, without doing so, you call out the word to both a mond and revolutionary, they will go in directions precisely opposite?"
- Anton Chekhov
(1860 - 1904)

Strong emotion—even insanity—impels us to make automatic associations without comparison. As Robyn Dawes demonstrates in this provocative book, a good deal of everyday judgment, professional procedure, and even social policy suffers from this kind of "everyday" irrationality.
About the Author:
Robyn M. Dawes is the author of over 150 articles and four books, the latest of which is House of Cards: Psychology and Psychotherapy Built on Myth. He teaches at Carnegie Mellon University and lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
