BE GOOD! episodes

  • Wendy Wood - Good Habits – from Context to Rewards
    Research conducted by Wendy Wood, psychologist and worldwide expert in habits, tells us that nearly 43% of the time people are engaging in habits, repeating behaviors that they’ve done in the past, in the same context, while they’re thinking about something other than what they’re doing.

    We spoke with Wendy Wood, the author of "Good Habits, Bad Habits, the science of making positive changes that stick", where we unpack what she’s learned over her 30+ year career studying habits.

  • Cass Sunstein - From the White House to the Workplace
    In our next episode of B.E. GOOD!, we will be speaking with Cass Sunstein, one of the leading legal scholars who, for the past fifteen years, has been at the forefront of behavioral economics.

    Cass is the founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy at Harvard Law School and a prolific author, including the book Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness, which has had an enormous impact in the field.

    In this episode, we will:

    - Learn how Cass came to collaborate with his friend Richard Thaler - and to work for President Obama, as the Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
     
    - Hear his advice for policymakers and behavioral scientists in helping to combat both the coronavirus crisis and political polarization.
     
    - Get Cass’ perspective on the power of behavioral science to make workplaces happier and more productive.
     
    - Get a preview of his upcoming work on information disclosure – and hear why we all underestimate the importance of “cognitive scarcity”.

  • Dan Ariely - From Death to Invisibility
    During our first episode we are speaking with Dan Ariely, James B. Duke professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University and author of three New York Times best-selling books, including Predictably Irrational. In this episode we dive into:

    • Dan’s frightening experience as a hospital patient, which later prompted him to launch an inquiry on how we can die better.
    • How finding his writing voice took him a while, and how his “cookbook” is still in the works.
    • Why an alternate career choice of becoming a politician wasn’t for him.
    • How making the invisible visible became one of his most important pieces of research.
    • What prompted him to say “the more I study decision-making, the more I'm willing to be paternalistic.”
    • And the link between office furniture, employee salaries and company profitability.
