I've read two of Dan Arielly's books and while occasionally entertaining and occasionally insightful, I could never stop feeling like he was a bullshit artist.

I've read two of Dan Arielly's books and while occasionally entertaining and occasionally insightful, I could never stop feeling like he was a bullshit artist. His books read as if he read a paper about people liking counterintuitive headlines with sciency-sounding explanations, and he p-hacked his entire career to take advantage of it and become the next Malcolm Gladwell. I kinda expected to see this sort of rebuttal sooner, considering how much of a thorn he was in economists' sides, but not at all surprised to see that it eventually happened.
