Question: So investors shouldn't delude themselves about beating the market? Answer: They're just not going to do it. It's just not going to happen.

My interest in well-being evolved from my interest in decision making - from raising the question of whether people know what they will want in the future and whether the things that people want for themselves will make them happy.
