Dan Ariely Quotes

That when given the opportunity, many honest people will cheat Picture Quote #1

$In a world where everyone is behaving honestly, any dishonesty constitutes a big infraction. But, in a world where many people are behaving dishonestly, and the news is filled with stories of their infractions, even big infractions can feel small to the perpetrator Picture Quote #1$

With everything you do, in fact, you should train yourself to question your repeated behaviors Picture Quote #1

We all want explanations for why we behave as we do and for the ways the world around us functions. Even when our feeble explanations have little to do with reality. We’re storytelling creatures by nature, and we tell ourselves story after story until we come up with an explanation that we like and that sounds reasonable enough to believe. And when the story portrays us in a more glowing and positive light, so much the better Picture Quote #1

That’s a lesson we can all learn: the more we have, the more we want. And the only cure is to break the cycle of relativity Picture Quote #1

The most difficult thing is to recognize that sometimes we too are blinded by our own incentives. Because we don’t see how our conflicts of interest work on us Picture Quote #1

If you ever go bar hopping, who do you want to take with you? You want a slightly uglier version of yourself. Similar... but slightly uglier Picture Quote #1

In life we encounter many people who, in some way or another, try to tattoo our faces Picture Quote #1

Honesty is a complex and tricky thing, and we don’t want to be honest all the time Picture Quote #1

Brands communicate in two directions: they help us tell other people something about ourselves, but they also help us form ideas about who we are Picture Quote #1

The experiments show quite clearly that, as you resist more and more temptation, you’re actually more and more likely to fail Picture Quote #1

Even the most analytical thinkers are predictably irrational; the really smart ones acknowledge and address their irrationalities Picture Quote #1

The retail industry has its own headache: it loses $16 billion a year to customers who buy clothes, wear them with the tags tucked in, and return these secondhand clothes for a full refund Picture Quote #1

What kind of people would be able to rationalize better than other people? Better storytellers, right? Creative people, right? Because if you’re creative, you find more ways to cheat and still yourself a story about why this is okay Picture Quote #1

We should teach the students, as well as executives, how to conduct experiments, how to examine data, and how to use these tools to make better decisions Picture Quote #1

I always found the appeal to the market gods a bit odd. Why would the market fix mistakes instead of aggravating them? Picture Quote #1

We need to believe that we’re good people, and we’ll do just about anything to maintain that perception Picture Quote #1

While we somehow understand revenge on an intuitive level between individuals, I do suspect that companies, assuming that people are rational, completely miss and underestimate the motivation people have for revenge Picture Quote #1

But suppose we are nothing more than the sum of our first, naive, random behaviors. What then? Picture Quote #1
