Jonah Lehrer wrote popular science and psychology books about decision-making, creativity and the brain, but his work also requires significant publication-history context. How We Decide examines emotion and reasoning in everyday choices, while Imagine: How Creativity Works attempted to explain creative insight through neuroscience, psychology and examples from artists and companies. Imagine was withdrawn by its publisher after problems were found with quotations and sourcing, and Lehrer's journalism career was also affected by plagiarism and fabrication controversies. A Book About Love later returned to topics involving relationships and social bonds. His books are written for general readers and combine research summaries with narrative examples, but readers should approach factual claims with awareness of the documented reliability issues surrounding parts of his earlier work.
