More quotes by 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.

Companies, however unintentionally, choke the motivation out of their employees.
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.

...[D]ivision of labor, in my mind, is one of the dangers of work-based technology. Modern IT infrastructure allows us to break projects into very small, discrete parts and assign each person to do only one of the many parts. In so doing, companies run the risk of taking away employees' sense of the big picture, purpose, and sense of completion.
Dan Ariely
It was shocking to realize how many low-income Americans don't have savings accounts.
Dan Ariely
The companies that provide debt, what do you think their goal is? Is their goal for you to fully understand the cost of your debt? No. So they're basically creating these approaches to make you feel like it is incredibly cheap or just to think about the cost per day rather the cost per year or cost for a lifetime. So debt is very simple mistake.
Dan Ariely
People are irrational - and predictably so.
Dan Ariely
What kind of people would be able to rationalize better than other people? Better storytellers, right? Creative people, right? Because if you're creative, you find more ways to cheat and still yourself a story about why this is okay.
Dan Ariely
Linking financial element to energy consumption I think has a huge role if you think about a display instrument that could teach us about what we are using, how much it costs us, how much it is saving, and therefore change our decisions.
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
The problem is that people basically dangle debt in front of us. And the cost for the poor of course is much higher than for the wealthy.
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
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
