• Resumen

  • Adee details people's fear. People are, in general, appalling at assessing risk: driving is inherently riskier than flying, terrorists or no terrorists. They also underestimate their chance of divorce, and spend more than is rational on lottery tickets and less than is rational on climate change. They fear their kids being abducted, so drive them to school, ignoring the greater risks that poses to their health and well-being.
