Review of 'Sway' on 'Goodreads'

Do you consider yourself a rational person? Do you get flummoxed when other seemingly rational people act irrationally? Then read this book. Now. It's constructed much like Freakinomonics, with scientific studies to back up their conclusions. This will be a book I will reread in the future.
