Psychology

If you liked Freakonomics, The Tipping Point or Blink you should probably check out Dan Gilbert's lecture How To Do Precisely The Right Thing At All Possible Times that was given at a SXSW (South By South West) conference in 2006. Dan Gilbert is a professor of Psychology at Harvard University who is an researcher in the fields of affective forecasting and the fundamental attribution error.

Dan Gilbert is a compelling speaker and talks about how humans are very poor at calculating odds and calculating value as well as how this impacts our decision making. It is a very interesting listen and is well worth the time.
