I make irrational decisions all the time - Dan Ariely on TED.com

http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_ariely_asks_are_we_in_control_of_our_own_decisions.html

One of the books I'm in the middle of reading is a book called Nudge that gets a little into the psychology of how we as people make decisions. Some of the things that Dan Ariely talks about in his 2008 TED talk relate well to the book. He talks a lot about complexity and how we make complex decisions and how we often go with whatever the default is.

It's interesting to think about how we as humans can react to things and make decisions in an irrational but somewhat predictable way.
