Dan Ariely
But suppose we are nothing more than the sum of our first, naive, random behaviors. What then?
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
Once you break the social norm and create a new social norm, all of a sudden it can stay with us for a long time.
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
Money is a wonderful invention. It lets us save, it lets us specialize, right? I couldn't be a professor if there wasn't any money. Every day I would have to raise chicken and bread and broccoli and go ahead and spend all my time trading. So, money is a wonderful mechanism.
Dan Ariely
We should teach the students, as well as executives, how to conduct experiments, how to examine data, and how to use these tools to make better decisions.

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
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
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 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
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
Motivation, basically getting people to be happy at work, everybody - everybody benefits.
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
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
Money are very difficult to think about. So, we think about money as the opportunity cost of money. So, we at some point went to a Toyota dealership and we asked people, what will you not be able to do in the future if you bought this Toyota?
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
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.
