Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWe downed some eggnog and decided to record an impromptu Christmas special. We have a chat about how insights from behavioural science might help the festive holidays proceed more smoothly: 😂  Why Joe's team might think (in his own words) that he’s an ‘egotistical a*&hole’.😧  A simple way to feel better about Christmas (but you might not like it).😠  The nudges that retailers use to get us to buy. 💵  Gift cards or cash as a present – to constrain or not to constrain?🤔  Do New Year’s resolutions get a bad rap and how can we can structure them to give a better chance of success?🍿 Our favourite Christmas movie as a metaphor for decision-making and a gift that helps people understand their value to the world.Wherever you are, however you celebrate (or don’t), we hope that you have get some high-quality time with family and friends over the festive period.  We’ll see you on the other side.
