Dan Ariely
We should teach the students, as well as executives, how to conduct experiments, how to examine data, and how to use these tools to make better decisions.
Dan Ariely
For all of us, it's very hard to think about money, and because of that, we need help. In the same way that for all of us, it is hard to eat well, and we need some help. The poor have a particular challenge, which is that their life is actually much more complex - and they're much more complex cognitively.
Dan Ariely
The experiments show quite clearly that, as you resist more and more temptation, you're actually more and more likely to fail.
Dan Ariely
I don't know what exactly the translation is but when we do consume something now, something else has to give at some point.
Dan Ariely
Take a brilliant, creative social scientist, without any respect for conventional wisdom and you get Ellen Langer. She is a fantastic storyteller, and Counterclockwise is a fascinating story about the unexpected ways in which our minds and bodies are connected.
Dan Ariely
Once we start thinking of ourselves as polluted, there is not much incentive to behave well, and the trip down the slippery slope is likely.
Dan Ariely
The things that motivate us are to help other people, to feel that we're useful, to feel that we're getting better, to feel that we are kind of living to our potential, to get a sense of meaning. All of those things are positive.
Dan Ariely
It is very difficult to make really big, important, life-changing decisions because we are all susceptible to a formidable array of decision biases. There are more of them than we realize, and they come to visit us more often than we like to admit.
Dan Ariely
When you're in pain, tomorrow doesn't exist - just the pain - and the only thing that you want in the world is for it to go away.
Dan Ariely
that when given the opportunity, many honest people will cheat.
Dan Ariely
Once you break the social norm and create a new social norm, all of a sudden it can stay with us for a long time.
Dan Ariely
I think we could get people to both be more productive and happier. We're less productive as individuals. We're less productive as companies, and we're more miserable.
Dan Ariely
We have very strong intuitions about all kinds of things — our own ability, how the economy works, how we should pay school teachers. But unless we start testing those intuitions, we’re not going to do better.
Dan Ariely
It was shocking to realize how many low-income Americans don't have savings accounts.
Dan Ariely
When you get a checking account, you should have a savings account, and the number for the savings account should be one off of your checking account.
Dan Ariely
The people that lend you money basically give you an answer based on the risk that they are willing to take. But just because a bank is willing to take a particular risk doesn't mean that that is the right amount for me to spend.
Dan Ariely
One of the big lessons from behavioral economics is that we make decisions as a function of the environment that we're in.
Dan Ariely
If I gave you now, $10 as a gift, how happy would you be? Would you be happy, is the marginal $10, the best use of $10 you can use? Of course not. If I have you a CD, you know exactly what you are getting and you will have a value for it. So, money has lots of problems with it.
Dan Ariely
When we save, everybody in the household is just suffering. By having the coin in a visible way, when you scratch, you can say the person that is in charge of the making money for the family is doing the right thing.
Dan Ariely
