The Predictably Irrational Dan Ariely
Dan Ariely, the author of “Predictably
Irrational
” and “The
Upside of Irrationality
” stopped by Big Think’s offices yesterday
to talk a little about the findings in his new book, touching on, among
other things, why companies that give big bonuses don’t necessarily get
better performance out of their employees; why we tend to overvalue
things that we create ourselves; the inherent altruism in revenge; and
the futility of online dating.
Ariely is no stranger to Big Think. He’s appeared on the site before to
talk about everything from how
we can make money less abstract
to how we can use guilt to get
people to reduce their carbon footprints
.
