Duke Professor of Psychology & Behavioral Economics at Duke University and founded the Center for Advanced Hindsight.

All of us can fall into trying to make sense of the unknown, drawn towards an insight, a theory or a story that seems just far-fetched enough to be true. But what makes rational people believe irrational things? As someone who studies behavioural scientists today's guest is akin to chatting with an intellectual hero. It's highly possible you haven't come across Dan Ariely's work, but his research drives much of what we know about irrational behaviour.

This conversation focuses on Dan's latest book 'Misbelief', which is a personal deep dive into an experience Dan faced through COVID with untruths being shared about him and his research. Believing he could just convince people they weren't true lead him down the path of identifying what he calls the ‘funnel of misbelief'. This conversation is insightful, fascinating and practical for us all as we navigate the unknown. Take a trip into understanding the funnel of Misbelief with Dan Ariely.

Welcome to episode 202 of Profit Boss® Radio! Today, I'm sharing another timeless episode from the Profit Boss® Radio archives with one of my most popular and commented-on episodes ever. I had the privilege of speaking with world-renowned economist and author Dan Ariely. Dan is a Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University. He's a three-time New York Times bestselling author, the co-creator of the Center for Advanced Hindsight, a two-time TEDx speaker, and the creator of a documentary called (Dis)Honesty - The Truth About Lies. Among the many great insights that Dan shared in this episode, you'll learn about the psychology behind why good people with good intentions–and how women in particular–make the same financial mistakes over and over again. We'll also discuss the surprising reasons why money problems might not be your fault, how social norms and new technology encourage us to spend more and think less, and what you can do to build more wealth and make better financial decisions. Are you ready, Profit Boss®? Here's what you'll find out in this week's episode of Profit Boss® Radio: What stops people from thinking rationally about money and what they can do to maximize GOOD decisions. Dan's theories about what makes women financially challenged. Social norms for women that may impact their lack of involvement in the stock market. The role behavior modification can play in powerfully addressing the looming retirement crisis. How something as arbitrary as our Social Security number convinces us to pay a premium for something, whether it's a book or a share of a stock. The things in the world designed to make it hard to think about money, including mortgages, interest rates, savings, and pleasure. Why no one is immune to making irrational financial decisions. Why investing and wealth-building isn't normalized for women. Why so many professional athletes go broke within four years while failing to improve their quality of life–and what this can tell us about our own spending. The key questions to ask yourself as you make big (and small) financial Why Dan's newest book, Payoff: The Hidden Logic That Shapes our Motivations is a valuable resource for parents, employers and everyone looking to motivate themselves or other people.

Compliance Mastermind: Strategies for your healthcare compliance program and your career
Today I thought it would be fun to take a break from talking about legal and regulatory obligations and talk about how we can make compliance engaging and maybe even a little fun. Corporate Compliance and Ethics Week is coming up the week of November 5th – 11th. I know a lot of organizations use this week to highlight their compliance program. I also know a lot of other organizations maybe don’t celebrate any particular week, but may do something outside of the box every once in a while to help raise the profile of the compliance function. Every organization is different and has its own tolerance for fun and innovation, and the activities I talk about today can all be modified to fit the culture of your company.

I get to be a fan-girl on this episode of the Profit Boss® Radio because of today's guest.

Send us your questions by writing a comment below, or let us know on Twitter or Facebook! The film is available on iTunes, digital VOD, and on DVD.

David and Tamler return after an end of summer hiatus to finally talkabout the ethics of deception….eventually. But first they break downa recent article in the journal Science documenting an attempt to replicate100 recent psychology experiments. What does it mean that justover 1/3 of the studies were successfully replicated? Is socialpsychology in crisis or is this just how science works? Will Davidsomehow try to pin the blame on philosophers?Plus--a brief and almost certainly regrettable foray into the AshleyMadison hack, the neuroscience of lying to your kids about Santa, and we announce a new way to contact us to help celebrate our 75th anniversary.LinksAuthors, Shitload of (2015) Estimating the reproducibility of psychological science, Science, 39.

In what is possibly our most repugnant first segment ever, David and Tamler break down the ethics of zoophilia and investigate the true nature of consent. In the second segment we answer some listener emails and address our first question in our new capacity as International Ethics Experts.™ If your family is religious, how honest should you be with your children about your non-belief? Do the comforting aspects of religious belief outweigh the fears and anxieties? What’s the deal with Christians and hell?Plus, sex-ed from a female perspective, a brief nostalgic trip to The Electric Company, and David overcomes his horror of self-promotion to thank some people for praising the podcast.

You can't win; if you tell lies people will distrust you. If you tell the truth people will dislike you. - Oscar WildeFrom little white lies to criminal deceit and global deceptions, dishonesty is a universal constant of the world we live in. Commonplace acts of make clear cheating isn't just happening on a newsworthy scale, but in smaller, more mundane ways everywhere.(Dis)Honesty - The Truth About Lies shows us that lying is a part of human nature, but little fibs can snowball into large-sale problems with major implications for society. Several recent studies have shown that we don't really understand the causes and complexities of dishonesty, but at the same time, research is indicating that reminding ourselves about our own morality makes us behave better. When we too often go to great lengths to rationalize the stories we concoct, why is it so hard for us to tell it like it is?
