More quotes by Dan Ariely

Dan Ariely
People are willing to work free, and they are willing to work for a reasonable wage but offer them just a small payment and they will walk away.
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
A very simple bad decision is to get into debt. And that is very expensive.
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
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
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.

Take a brilliant, creative social scientist, without any respect for conventional wisdom and you get Ellen Langer. She is a fantastic storyteller, and Counterclockwise is a fascinating story about the unexpected ways in which our minds and bodies are connected.
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 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
Giving up on our long-term goals for immediate gratification, my friends, is procrastination.
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
But because human being tend to focus on short-term benefits and our own immediate needs, such tragedies of the commons occur frequently .
Dan Ariely
We are all far less rational in our decision-making than standard economic theory assumes. Our irrational behaviors are neither random nor senseless: they are systematic and predictable. We all make the same types of mistakes over and over, because of the basic wiring of our brains.
Dan Ariely
You can think about life as a battle between you and a doughnut shop. The doughnut shop wants you to eat another doughnut and pay the money, and you want to do it in the short term, but in the long term it's not good for you either financially or from a health perspective.
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
Motivation, basically getting people to be happy at work, everybody - everybody benefits.
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
that when given the opportunity, many honest people will cheat.
