Classical economic theory long assumed that people make rational decisions, seeking to maximize their own self-interest.
Behavioral economics has challenged this assumption, demonstrating that choices are influenced by emotions, context, and cognitive biases.

Anchoring, confirmation bias, and loss aversion regularly distort the assessment of risks and rewards.
Even experienced professionals are susceptible to these biases, especially under uncertainty and time pressure.
Financial decisions, consumer behavior, and management choices are often based not on calculations but on intuitive heuristics.
Companies actively use behavioral economics insights in marketing, pricing, and product design.

This raises the ethical question: where is the line between facilitating choice and manipulating others?
Government institutions are also using behavioral approaches to improve the effectiveness of policies and programs.
Recognizing one's own cognitive biases is becoming an important skill in the 21st century.
Ultimately, behavioral economics shows that humans are not irrational; they simply make decisions according to their own, human rules.
