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
A very simple bad decision is to get into debt. And that is very expensive.
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

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
Honesty is a complex and tricky thing, and we don't want to be honest all the time.
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
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
