Comments from Guests

Stephen Baker - The Numerati

I enjoyed the interview very much and am happy to have met Brad. He was one of the rare interviewers who have actually read the book. And the fact that he was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject was a bonus. I appreciate your patience with me through the months.

All best,
Steve

What is it that drives us to make decisions that don't make sense.  Worse yet, why do we make decisions that actually hurt us.  Dan takes Brad on a journey through the unexplained and clearly explains it.  He shows all of us how little changes to our thinking can create a much better life, not only for us, but the entire human race.  Dan is truly a remarkable thinker.

Comment from Dan Ariely

For the past four months I've had lots of radio interviews (on average once a day), but the one I had with Brad was one of the most interesting and fun.  In his charming interviewing style and depth Brad was able to expand on our discussion and make it exciting to me and the listeners.  I am looking forward to my next interview with him.
