In a world that is getting smarter, do you still know how you make your own decisions?
In the age of Artificial Intelligence, where information is at our fingertips and choices are often "pre-arranged," the ability to think independently has never been more critical. Invisible Choices takes young readers on a journey through the fascinating world of behavioral economics-not through dry theories, but through the everyday life of a boy named Nono.
Nono is just like any other kid: he procrastinates, follows the crowd, and sometimes struggles to let go of a toy he no longer plays with. Alongside him is Opendeed, a unique AI companion that doesn't offer "correct answers" but instead asks a powerful question at the right moment: "Would you like to pause for a second?"
Through 12 engaging chapters, children will discover the "invisible forces" that quietly nudge their decisions, including:
-
Bounded Rationality: Why even the smartest kids make mistakes when they are "out of battery."
-
Mental Accounting: Why some money feels easy to spend while other money feels impossible to touch.
-
Loss Aversion: Why the pain of losing a small coin feels much stronger than the joy of winning one.
-
The Framing Effect: How changing the way something is said can completely flip our choices.
This book is not about always making the "right" choice-it's about the rare and vital skill of Decision Awareness. It is a survival guide for the AI era, helping kids pause, see the influences around them, and finally hear their own inner voice.
