Podcast of the Week: Dan Ariely is Predictably Entertaining

Dan Ariely was on the Capital Allocators Podcast this week talking all things behavioral psychology and rationality (with some serious tie-ins to investing, obviously too). Hear him discuss the signaling value of saving vs. spending, and the finer points of incentive compensation at work (formal settings) and in personal relationships (informal settings), amongst other things.

Ariely’s books are essentials – for the unfamiliar, Predictably Irrational is an easy to read explanation of the systematic and predictable ways we overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate through life.
