"""From the studies and exchanges that lead Viale to conduct his research and teach in the most advanced universities in the world, the network of scholars was born who, on the basis of each person's skills, he drew on to compose the Handbook of Bounded Rationality...[This] network made up of over seventy scholars helps to enter into what remains one of the great mysteries of the human mind: how and why we make a decision rather than another."" -Corriere della Sera"
