Why do we make bad decisions

Daniel Gilbert is a Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and author of the international bestseller Stumbling on Happiness. This TED ‘oldy’ (2005) is so enlightening I had to share it with you all. Even though all his visions and experiments are based on Assumption, which is basically the mother of all fuck ups! cause if you assume something “you make an ass out of u and me.”  Nevertheless I recommend watching it. And while you at it watch Dan’s 2nd TED talk Dan Gilbert: The surprising science of happiness.  Dan does provides you with surprising tests and experiments that you can also try on yourself. Enjoy!
