Navigating Life's Turmoils, With Dan Ariely By Your Side

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 18, 2015

Behavioral economist Dan Ariely discusses the new, expanded collection of his Wall Street Journal advice column, “Ask Ariely.” In Irrationally Yours: On Missing Socks, Pickup Lines, and Other Existential Puzzles, he teams up with New Yorker cartoonist William Haefeli to illustrate a variety of economic, ethical, and emotional dilemmas. How can you stay calm when you’re playing the volatile stock market? How do you maximize ROI at an all-you-can-eat buffet? Is it possible to put a price on the human soul?

(Dis)Honesty – The Truth About Lies, a documentary that explores much of Ariely's research on lying, opens at IFC Center and On-Demand May 22.
