Something for nothingDo rewards and incentives damage our humanity?In much of our personal and professional lives, we receive rewards for good behaviour and carrying out our responsibilities. But, evidence now suggests there are risks to this approach. Studies show rewards can damage wellbeing, fostering dependence and undermining our own sense of control. And neuroscientists have shown those more prone to seeking reward have a 70% higher risk of addiction, with addictive behaviour now present in almost half of the U.S. population. So, should we move away from rewards-based systems, and instead learn to value doing the right thing simply for the sake of, well, doing the right thing?Paul Bloom is a Canadian-American psychologist, bestselling author, and celebrated speaker. Bloom has written widely on human nature, and he won the Klaus J. Jacobs Research Prize for his investigations into how children develop a sense of morality.Dan Ariely is a Professor of Psychology and Behavioural Economics at Duke University and best-selling author. Ariely is a scholar of irrationality and decision-making, explaining how we repeatedly and predictably make the wrong decisions in many aspects of our lives.Nancy Sherman is a Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University who has conducted research in general ethics, moral psychology, and the history of philosophy with focus on the Stoic tradition. A New York Times Notable Author and sought-after speaker, her views on military ethics have been influential.

Today, we unpack the book "Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely.In this book profile, we explore the fascinating world of behavioral economics, where Dan Ariely reveals how our supposedly rational decisions are actually governed by predictable patterns of irrationality. Charles breaks down key psychological principles that influence our everyday choices, from how relativity affects our satisfaction to why "free" makes us lose our logical thinking abilities.Key topics include:• Relativity and comparison - How we evaluate things based on comparisons rather than absolute value, affecting our satisfaction with purchases and even our salaries• Anchoring and arbitrary coherence - Why the first price we see becomes a mental benchmark that influences all future related decisions• The power of "free" and the distinction between social vs. market norms - How we irrationally respond to free offers and why mixing money with social relationships often backfires• Loss aversion and the paradox of choice - Why parting with possessions feels painful and how too many options lead to decision paralysis• The placebo effect and expectations - How our perceptions shape our reality, from wine tasting to pain reliefPredictably Irrational Book: https://www.amazon.com/Predictably-Irrational-Hidden-Forces-Decisions/dp/006135323X-Website and live online programs: http://ims-online.comBlog: https://blog.ims-online.com/Podcast: https://ims-online.com/podcasts/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesagood/Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlesgood99Chapters: (00:00) Introduction(01:00) How Comparisons Shape Our Decisions (04:00) Technique: Anchoring(07:15) The Magic of "Free" (08:30) Social Norms vs. Market Norms (10:30) Technique: Procrastination and How to Overcome It (12:00) Loss Aversion and the IKEA Effect (13:45) Tip: The Paradox of Choice (15:15) Expectations and How They Shape Our Experience (17:00) The Placebo Effect and Pricing Perception (18:30) Conclusion

This can result in stress, frustration, and burnout.Professor Ariely explains how uncertainty and lack of control in healthcare—like unclear rules or too many forms—can harm trust and make it harder for everyone to do their best. They also talk about how giving people too many choices, like making parents decide on tough medical treatments, can cause unnecessary stress and regret.They also discussed the need to improve healthcare by prioritizing long-term patient care, reducing unnecessary burdens on doctors, and building systems that foster trust, mental health, and teamwork.BioDan Ariely is an Israeli-American professor and behavioral economist known for exploring irrational decision-making.

Professor Ariely discusses how rigid bureaucratic systems often disconnect from the core mission of patient care, leading to stress, reduced autonomy, and burnout among physicians. He also spoke about the "scarcity mindset," where limited resources like time and energy force rigid approaches, overwhelming both doctors and patients.He highlighted the importance of trust in healthcare. When physicians feel undervalued, it fosters frustration and burnout. Similarly, patients losing trust in providers may turn to alternative treatments that are less effective or harmful.To improve, Professor Ariely suggests collaboration between administrators and physicians to balance efficiency with compassion.

In today's episode, we discuss the science of human decision-making and behavior with Dan Ariely, a world-renowned expert in psychology and behavioral economics. As the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University, Dan has dedicated his career to uncovering the irrational patterns that drive our decisions. He's the author of multiple bestselling books, including Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality, and The Honest Truth About Dishonesty, where he explores the predictable mistakes we make and how understanding them can lead to better outcomes in life, business, and relationships.  Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Dan Ariely as he explores the hidden biases and patterns that influence our decisions, from everyday choices to life-altering moments. Why do we often invest more time deciding on small purchases than major life decisions? How does regret shape our behavior, and why do we favor inaction over action? Dan shares powerful insights into the psychological forces at play in our decision-making, the tension between market and social norms, and how to build habits and environments that support better outcomes.  What to Listen For Introduction – 00:00:00 What is regret, and how does it bias us toward inaction over action? How did Dan's experience in the hospital lead to groundbreaking research on irrational behaviors? Why do people spend more time on medium-sized decisions than life-changing ones like marriage or buying a house? What does Dan's research reveal about indecision and its long-term costs? Overcoming Indecision and the Role of Regret – 00:07:24 How does regret influence our tendency to avoid taking action? What mental strategies can we use to frame decisions more effectively and reduce indecision? Why is setting a deadline a critical tool for making tough choices? Building Habits and Simplifying Decisions – 00:17:45 Why is it essential to focus on process rather than outcome when evaluating decisions? How can creating rituals and habits reduce decision fatigue and lead to better outcomes? What are Dan's personal strategies for avoiding temptation and building productive habits? Market Norms vs. Social Norms – 00:31:56 What are market norms and social norms, and why do they often conflict? How can introducing financial incentives harm social motivations? Why is it difficult to shift back to social norms once market norms dominate a relationship? Trust, Relationships, and Long-Term Success – 00:40:02 How does trust develop in long-term relationships, and why does it thrive under social norms? What role does empathy play in fostering trust and cooperation? Why are open-ended interactions more effective at building trust than transactional exchanges? Actionable Insights for Better Decision-Making – 00:46:00 How can we overcome regret, procrastination, and indecision in daily life? Why should we prioritize the quality of our decision-making process over the unpredictability of outcomes?

Underlying open banking is an important assumption: That if you give the consumer all the information about what data is held on them and all the control over how that data is shared, that they will be better off. That they will use that information and control to make better decisions, decisions that benefit them. But is that actually so? Behavioral economics says that perhaps the answer is no. Rising to prominence in the late nineties and two-thousands, behavioural economics challenges the idea that people always behave rationally. For those building open banking environments aimed at truly helping consumers make better decisions about their money and their data, its lessons are invaluable. In this episode, Eyal sits down with renowned behavioural economist Dan Ariely, a professor, scientist and best-selling author, to discuss the roots of behavioral economics, the role of paternalism, and how friction and motivation can be applied to building better financial services.Specifically they discuss: Understanding behavioural economicsVisible money vs. invisible moneyUsing friction and motivationPaternalism and responsibilityBuilding environments that benefit us

Find out valuable perspectives on how human psychology influences purchasing decisions which is essential for anyone looking to optimize their pricing or marketing strategies.
