  Why are we more likely to forgo the opportunity to sell a £100 bottle of wine rather than actually taking money out our wallet to pay for it, when ultimately the 'opportunity cost' of doing so is the same? Why would the 'endowment effect' mean that we value a free ticket worth hundreds of pounds more than the money we would get from selling it?

  From the renowned and entertaining behavioural economist and co-author of the seminal workNudge, Misbehaving is an irreverent and enlightening look into human foibles.

He presents literate, challenging, and often funny examples of such anomalies as why the winners at auctions are often the real losers—they pay too much and suffer the winner's curse—why gamblers bet on long shots at the end of a losing day, why shoppers will…
