Dan Ariely
The most difficult thing is to recognize that sometimes we too are blinded by our own incentives. Because we don’t see how our conflicts of interest work on us.
Dan Ariely
Companies, however unintentionally, choke the motivation out of their employees.
Dan Ariely
We usually think of ourselves as sitting the driver's seat, with ultimate control over the decisions we made and the direction our life takes but, alas, this perception has more to do with our desires-with how we want to view ourselves, than with reality.
Dan Ariely
The real issue is, how much goodwill do you invest in the work? And goodwill is not something that we can buy with money. It's very hard to buy goodwill with money.
Dan Ariely
With everything you do, in fact, you should train yourself to question your repeated behaviors.
Dan Ariely
