Hacking Your Mind

I just started watching this series but I can already tell it is awesome. It’s all about our biases and explains how we can never be the rational actor assumed in classic economics. It talks about our intuitive self and our “slow thinking” self (Kahneman). You should be able to stream tge Series for free from www.pbs.org.

Turns out I didn’t have to read all those books after all!

Here’s the understated PBS sales pitch:

Follow host, Jacob Ward, (The TODAY Show), from the farthest corners of the globe to the inside of your mind as he sets out to discover we are not who we think we are. We imagine our conscious minds make most decisions, but in reality we go through much of our lives on “autopilot”. And marketers and social media companies rely on it. Hacking Your Mind offers you an autopilot owner’s manual.
