Emilio Iasiello's short-story collection Why People Do What They Do is a compilation of ten stories in which Iasiello delves into complex and controversial topics we have seen in the news or experienced personally but most have not questioned. Each story will leave you asking questions such as "Why?", "What if?", and "Did this really happen?" Only the author knows for sure.

The stories in this collection center on people — mostly working-class men and women — who have invariably taken a wrong turn in their lives and are confronted with character-defining crises. Neighbors, mothers, sons, and brothers struggle to find balance and meaning in the face of deceit, loyalty, shame, and pride. Why People Do What They Do communicates how our decisions reveal who we are and how these decisions must be made even if they aren't the right ones.
