We learn about rational and irrational behavior first in life experiences. When we join a business as managers, you have to be rational. Otherwise, you will bankrupt the organization (Business). Rational in Business and sometimes irrational in life.

We are irrational in both, that has been proven many times. I am sure you know Thaler or Kahneman's work, I doubt there is much to add...

Are you rational in business and irrational in life?

Can be both rational or irrational in both business & life. Reason being there are many variables (internal within self & external) at play & subjectivity are influencing our rationality. Just my personal opinion - instead of focusing on rationality, perhaps we can let the best rationality displayed at the right time at the right place to influence the desired outcomes.

"rational in business and irrational in life" That's 100% true! Thank you!

You kind of looked into my soul.

I should only note that to be absolutely rational in personal life would be boring!

All my choices are based on logic and reason
