From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, we consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They&#8217;re systematic and predictable\u2014making us predictably irrational.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Podcast-icon.png\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/ca\/podcast\/scott-h-young-podcast\/id1281747833\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7107 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Podcast-icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"261\" height=\"60\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you would rather read the full transcript, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/2017-09-book-club-transcript\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some of the highlights:<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;some tactics for self-imposed restrictions&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Scott:\u00c2\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">The first [tactic] I want to talk about which I thought was very interesting is something that you have deliberately designed your environment to try to overcome is the one on self-control and procrastination.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In this chapter he talked about one of the deviations from rationality is that if you give people more constraints, in particular you give them the ability to hinder their own progress, in they might actually do better. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">I wanted to talk about this in the context of what you do, Vat. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You are somewhat interesting in our group of friends because you have a lot of self-imposed constraints that a lot of others would be like, why are you doing that!? But they are really effective so maybe you can talk about your own experience with that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Vat: <\/b>Just before I talk about my own experience, I remember, a book I was reading about psychology and they were saying that putting restrictions are self-imposed they are much more effective because you\u2019re the one who set the limits, you feel more responsible and in control when you set your own restrictions as opposed to someone else telling you what to do. That can lead to a feeling of like someone is trying to get you to do something. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In my experience, when it comes to productivity, I use applications on my computer that block electricity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It starts at 8:00am and it ends at 5:00pm and during that time all the social media sites and all the time wasting sites are all blocked. Now, this is a restriction I\u2019ve set for myself. This occurred through observation; I was looking at how I was wasting time and how much more productive I am after not using those sites. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After implementing these restrictions on myself I find my productivity is much better and I\u2019ve been doing it for years now. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We all know we shouldn\u2019t be wasting time if we\u2019re trying to study or work but we all do it. So, there are applications that can help you with that and I\u2019ve been using that with a lot of success. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">On the cost of &#8220;free&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Scott: <\/b>I want to talk about some of the other biases that are talked about. One of them is about the cost of \u201cfree\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When something is free, when it goes from one cent or one dollar to costing nothing, suddenly our brains stop working. We become irrational. We pursue it with vigor and we want more, more and more of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One of the reasons this is irrational is that we fail to include the other costs that are involved. We are more likely to pursue something when it\u2019s free but we don\u2019t consider opportunity costs.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Vat: <\/b>Yes, I have an idea on this where this idea of opportunity cost \u2014 you should always been optimizing and saving the most amount of time and using your money efficiently \u2014 but this is a purely logical way of thinking and we are emotional creatures. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On health, lifestyle and irrational choices&#8230;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Scott: <\/b><span class=\"s1\">This happens with health products. Some aren\u2019t actually that healthy for you meaning that they have extra calories and they also taste bad, so I can think of some things, well, no offense to anyone who likes kale but I\u2019ve seen some kale salads and you know, kale tastes worse than lettuce. I\u2019m sorry, it just does!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I saw a kale salad once that was covered in some kind of dressing so the calories weren\u2019t actually that great. I can imagine people buying it and maybe it\u2019s not that healthy but it gives you this feeling of aestheticism. This feeling that, \u201coh I\u2019m saving myself with this healthy item!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I think we need to weigh that into our calculation. Why am I trying to lose weight? Am I trying to be healthy? Think about do you actually get some kind of pleasurable feeling from eating that kale salad because you\u2019re doing something that\u2019s quote, unquote, good for you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As you said, emotional calculus is important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Vat: <\/b>One last example before we move on to the next section, studying. I\u2019ve wasted a lot of time as a student sitting in the library but not actually studying. It gives you the feeling that you\u2019re studying even if you\u2019re not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">That\u2019s another one of those things that gives you the feeling of studying but really, if you actually wanted to study, you can study anywhere, you don\u2019t need to go to the library. Again, emotions come into play when we\u2019re looking at these biases.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For those of you who want to read the book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Predictably-Irrational-Revised-Expanded-Decisions\/dp\/0061353248\">it is available here<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0If you want to participate in the group discussions and join our book club,\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/543802626007799\/\"><span class=\"s2\">click here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Special thanks to Vat Jaiswal for joining me for this month&#8217;s book club discussion.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The book for October will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dont-Sleep-There-Are-Snakes\/dp\/0307386120\/\">Don&#8217;t Sleep, There are Snakes: Life and Language in the Amazonian Jungle<\/a>, by Daniel Everett.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vat Jaiswal and I discuss Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely.
