Thank you for sharing about the Dan Ariely scam. From his wiki:
> Ariely is the author of the three New York Times best selling books Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality and The Honest Truth about Dishonesty.[3] He co-produced the 2015 documentary (Dis)Honesty: The Truth About Lies.[4]
You have to say, this guy has chutzpah! He's fine to promote himself as a bastion of truth and rationality, and all the while he's making up his studies! Lying through your teeth gets you "three New York Times best selling books"!
