Dan Ariely’s first book is the now best-selling, Predictably Irrational - The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decision. We had this conversation a couple of months before the book came out and took the world by storm. The book is fascinating and the conversation is amazing. Did you know that we repeatedly and predictably make the wrong decisions in many aspects of our lives and that research could help change some of these patterns? As a behavioral economist, Dan Ariely studies how people actually act in the marketplace, as opposed to how they should or would perform if they were completely rational. His interests span a wide range of daily behaviors such as buying (or not), saving (or not), ordering food in restaurants, pain management, procrastination, dishonesty, and decision making under different emotional states. His experiments are consistently interesting, amusing, and informative, demonstrating profound ideas that fly in the face of common wisdom. Enjoy the conversation… Show Notes Running time: 24:27.

We're finally out to the public and we're all very excited about this first episode. We've also got the founding partner and 2 Welcome To Foreword Thinking: The Business And Motivational Book Review Podcast Mitch Joel <mitch@forewordthinking.com> A while back I was contacted by HarperCollins Canada about the possibility of creating a Podcast on the topic of business and personal development (motivational) books. The timing was perfect as I was grappling with the Montreal Business Book Review's future. The Montreal Business Book Review email list has over two hundred Montreal business professionals on it, but each month, our discussions would be attended by four-twelve enthusiasts. While that amount is perfect for a lively discussion, it was unclear how to get the word out on a bigger scale.

HarperCollins Canada and Twist Image are proud to launch Foreword Thinking: The Business And Motivational Book Review Podcast and I am your host. We're looking at publishing every two weeks and each episode will feature conversations with some of the best and brightest business and personal development thinkers in the world. There will also be a news segment, book reviews, lots of cool contests and, of course, the ability for you to participate.

I hope you enjoy this content, but it won’t evolve or get any better without your voice Please feel free to join the community via audio comments and emails with your feedback..
