On Wednesday,Behavioral Economist Dan Ariely came on the indicate to talk about the hidden forces that effect it harder for us to save and spend money intelligently. For our Bonus Weekend Podcast, we wanted to revisit three other interviews about the invisible forces that shape our behavior. In 2012 Leonard spoke with Leonard Mlodinow about how often we misperceive our relationships with family, or friends,and colleagues. In 2016, Jonah Berger explained why our important personal decisions can often be influenced by strangers, and social trends and popular opinion. And back in June of this year,science journalist Lee Daniel Kravetz talked about the conception of social contagion, or the theory that ideas, and emotions and actions are communicable.
