Barry Schwartz - The Store Does Not Take Care of Itself
About this episode
I see podcasting as the discovery of surprises. I’m not in charge, just a part of. My conversation with Barry Schwartz ([email protected]) is a luge ride, full speed and switching the role of top slider (the one who signals the turn) and the bottom driver (the one who makes the turn) throughout. Here’s some of where we went:
dogged attachment
uncertainty and probability
the curse of knowledge
vaccinations and shopping for groceries
organ donations and social altruism
drunk driving, smoking, and MADD
freedom and security
confidence intervals
cynicism
Barry’s book, Why We Work, is a great read. His TED talk, https://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_the_way_we_think_about_work_is_broken, a luge ride you’ll not forget. Grab some water, dress warmly, and join us for The Store Does Not Take Care of Itself.
Thank you, Barry.
