Quotes from the same author
Motivation, basically getting people to be happy at work, everybody - everybody benefits.
Dan Ariely
We have very strong intuitions about all kinds of things — our own ability, how the economy works, how we should pay school teachers. But unless we start testing those intuitions, we’re not going to do better.
Dan Ariely
