Most people believe that their thoughts are completely rational without any sort of outside influence. "I am my own person and my thoughts are my own," most people would contend. Too many people don't see the invisible forces that influence their decisions. Specifically, politicians can push our conclusions in directions that may not be accurate.
However, after reading Sway, I see just how much tunnel vision people can have, including me. This tunnel vision can lead to a bad day or even the loss of life.
The main point is that we are often drawn to doing dumb (irrational) things and making decisions that make no sense..so I think Sway would be on more solid ground if it looked at irrationality and "risk" together. It's one thing to act irrationally when there is a big upside to success and not a huge downside to failure.
I think that one of example of Irrational Behavior consequences mentioned above , it was the chaos &clash we experienced on Friday.
