Episode Synopsis

I see podcasting as the discovery of surprises. I’m not in charge, just a part of. My conversation with Barry Schwartz ([email protected]) is a luge ride, full speed and switching the role of top slider (the one who signals the turn) and the bottom driver (the one who makes the turn) throughout. Here’s some of where we went:                                                                        dogged attachment                                                             uncertainty and probability                                                                 the curse of knowledge                                                vaccinations and shopping for groceries                                                  organ donations and social altruism                                               drunk driving, smoking, and MADD                                                                freedom and security                                                                   confidence intervals                                                                            cynicismBarry’s book, Why We Work, is a great read. His TED talk, https://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_the_way_we_think_about_work_is_broken, a luge ride you’ll not forget. Grab some water, dress warmly, and join us for The Store Does Not Take Care of Itself.  Thank you, Barry.
