Hey everyone, welcome back to Financial Therapy! Today we’re starting a two-part episode about traditional finance theory vs. behavioral finance, and the biases that can creep into our financial decision-making.



In his book, The Subconscious Mind of The Consumer (and How To Reach It), Harvard Business school professor Gerald Zaltzman says that 95% of purchasing decisions happen in the subconscious mind and are driven by emotions.
