From taxes to golf — many people cheat just by a little bit ….
This video was produced by spark creative and Diamond consultants – thanks
Hi, I’m Dan Ariely. I do research in behavioral economics and try to describe it in plain language. These findings have enriched my life, and my hope is that they will do the same for you.
My latest book, The Upside of Irrationality, explores some positive and some negative ways that irrationality plays out in our lives.
When we make decisions we think we're in control. But are we?
Excerpts and Videos
LOL! Damn funny! I highly recommend everyone visiting this site to watch the “From taxes to golf” video.
Dan,
Your cheating research fascinates me. I think you and Steven Levitt would make a cheating research dream team. Just a thought.
(On a side note: Although I love your videos, my impatient self wishes they had a bit shorter introductions.)
Thanks!
That was a great video. Watched it 3 times!
There is a certain amount of everybody else does it so why shouldn’t I do it, especially with respect to office stationary (not sure if that is subconcious or not though). In fact it almost feels like borrowing/using something from your parents — they have a plentiful life, they’re not going to miss it. Which is probably true but does that make it OK?
Great video. Very entertaining!
