More TED faves

Again, tease me all you want, but I totally have a crush on this man, too... and it's not the accent.

Dan Ariely asks, Are we in control of our own decisions? 

About this talk
Behavioral economist Dan Ariely, the author of Predictably Irrational, uses classic visual illusions and his own counterintuitive (and sometimes shocking) research findings to show how we're not as rational as we think when we make decisions.


Dan Ariely on our buggy moral code

About this talk
Behavioral economist Dan Ariely studies the bugs in our moral code: the hidden reasons we think it's OK to cheat or steal (sometimes). Clever studies help make his point that we're predictably irrational -- and can be influenced in ways we can't grasp.
