Beware your tricky brain. Mastering the economics of behavior

•  Your brain knows but may not tell you •  “It would be great to say we never fall victim to our brain’s little tricks once we know about them” (Total Recorded Time is 18:30) Watch it! Your brain may be about to fool you, cautions Melina Palmer, founder and CEO of The Brainy Business, which provides behavioral economics consulting to businesses. “It would be great to say we never fall victim to our brain’s little tricks once we know about them,” says Ms. Palmer, a behavioral economist.  “Humans make, on average, 35,000 decisions every single day. That’s a lot and we can’t consciously process all of that information.” So the subconscious handles the heavy load, she says.  “It’s able to work so much faster.” Understanding the tricks of the brain can help consumers as well as those selling to consumers, she says.
