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.

Thinking is difficult and sometimes unpleasant.
Dan Ariely
Image
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
Image
It is helpful to think of people as having two fundamental motivations: the desire to see ourselves as honest, good people, and the desire to gain the benefits that come from cheating - on our taxes or on the football field.
Dan Ariely
Image
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
Image
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.

In life we encounter many people who, in some way or another, try to tattoo our faces.

When people are in severe pain, there's an expression, you're a pain person, and what that means is that nothing else matters.
