Are We In Control Of Our Decisions?
by Jonas Blake on May.19, 2010, under Mind Upgrade
This is a fantastic video about the true nature of freedom of choice, or rather our shocking lack thereof. As Dan says, we are good at coping with our physical constraints…stairs, clothes, etc. But we are not so good at dealing with, or even acknowledging, our mental constraints.
Dan Ariely is the author of Predictably Irrational, a great book that I am reading right now, and which I highly recommend.
