Dan Ariely is a renowned behavioral economist and a leading voice in understanding the intricacies of human behavior. Born in New York City and raised in Israel, DanÕs journey into the realm of human psychology began in a place he least expectedÑa hospital bed. At the age of 18, Ariely suffered severe burns from an explosion, an experience that profoundly changed his life and steered his academic pursuits towards understanding pain, decision-making, and the quirks of human behavior. Following his recovery, Dan went on to earn a BachelorÕs degree in Psychology from Tel Aviv University, and later, a MasterÕs and Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Not stopping there, he also received a Ph.D. in Business Administration from Duke University. His pursuit of knowledge has always been driven by questions like: Why do people make irrational choices? How can we improve decision-making processes? Currently, Dan is the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University. There, he not only conducts cutting-edge research but also teaches courses that challenge students to think differently about economics and behavior. He has authored multiple best-selling books, including ÒPredictably Irrational,Ó ÒThe Upside of Irrationality,Ó and ÒThe Honest Truth About Dishonesty.Ó These works have garnered international acclaim and are celebrated for their accessibility, humor, and deep insight into how we all make decisions. In addition to his academic endeavors, Ariely is the co-founder of several companies that apply behavioral science to solve real-world problems. These include BEworks, an applied behavioral economics firm, and Timeful, a time management app that was later acquired by Google. His innovative approach and engaging storytelling make his keynote speeches highly sought after. Dan speaks at conferences worldwide, offering audiences a unique lens through which to view their everyday decisions and business strategies. Living with his family in Durham, North Carolina, Dan continues to explore the frontiers of human behavior. Whether through his research, books, or captivating lectures, his goal remains clear: to illuminate the hidden forces that shape our decisions and to inspire more thoughtful, rational, and ultimately fulfilling lives.
