Anyone who has bought a domain from GoDaddy will recount such an awful experience with their up-selling strategy. It’s scary: you just don’t know if those extra “but wait, there’s more!” promos went to your checkout cart by accident. Nonetheless, I still use GoDaddy to buy my domains and have the name servers redirected to my Dreamhost account.

Ah, to make up for the lack of recommendations for the past few weeks, here are three books I downloaded with my subscription from Audible.

Why do our headaches persist after taking a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a 50-cent aspirin? Why does recalling the 10 Commandments reduce our tendency to lie, even when we couldn’t possibly be caught? Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save 25 cents on a can of soup? Why do we go back for second helpings at the unlimited buffet, even when our stomachs are already full? And how did we ever start spending $4.15 on a cup of coffee when, just a few years ago, we used to pay less than a dollar?
