More quotes by Dan Ariely
that when given the opportunity, many honest people will cheat.
Dan Ariely
Not all debt is bad. From time to time we should get into debt when there's a good reason for that.
Dan Ariely
People are irrational - and predictably so.
Dan Ariely
Disasters are usually a good time to re-examine what we've done so far, what mistakes we've made, and what improvements should come next.
Dan Ariely
The major thing that holds you back when you're trying to change a bad habit like eating, smoking, or drinking too much is your belief you are out of control.
Dan Ariely
While we somehow understand revenge on an intuitive level between individuals, I do suspect that companies, assuming that people are rational, completely miss and underestimate the motivation people have for revenge.
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 problem with opportunity cost is that opportunity cost is divided among many, many things.
Dan Ariely
Money is all about opportunity cost. Every time you spend on something, that's something you can't spend on something else.
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
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
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
With everything you do, in fact, you should train yourself to question your repeated behaviors.
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
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
It was shocking to realize how many low-income Americans don't have savings accounts.
Dan Ariely
In life we encounter many people who, in some way or another, try to tattoo our faces.
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
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
I don't think we should go around life and being miserable all the time and feel the pain of paying. It's a question of what categories we want to spend more on and what categories we want feel that we are spending too much on and we want to cut down.
Dan Ariely
