Summary:
"
We
think of
money
as numbers, values, and amounts, but when it comes down to it, when
we
actually use our
money
,
we
engage our hearts more than our heads. Emotions play a powerful role in shaping our financial behavior, often making us our own worst enemies as
we
try to save, access value, and
spend
responsibly. Behavioral economist Dan Ariely teams up with financial comedian and writer Jeff Kreisler to challenge many of our most basic assumptions about the precarious relationship between our brains and our
money
. They undermine many of personal finance's most sacred beliefs and explain
how
we
can override some of our own instincts to make better financial choices. From the lure of pain-free spending with credit cards to the pitfalls of household budgeting to the seductive power of holiday sales - Ariely and Kreisler demonstrate
how
our misplaced confidence in our spending habits frequently leads us astray, costing us more than
we
realize, whether it's the real value of the time
we
spend
driving forty-five minutes to save $10 or our inability to properly assess what the things
we
buy are actually worth. The emotional forces working against us and
how
we
can counteract them. The authors cut through the unconscious fears and desires driving our worst financial instincts and teach us
how
to improve our
money
habits. Dan Ariely is a professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University."--From publisher.
