September 2024 National Call and Monthly Actions - Featuring Author and Professor Dan Ariely
Average Rating:
Each month, Citizens’ Climate Lobby supporters gather locally for a monthly national meeting where we educate ourselves by listening to a guest speaker. Go to your local chapter's page to find out more about your chapter's plans to join our national call. September's Monthly Meeting will be held on Saturday, September 14th at 1:00 pm ET and feature Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics Dan Arierly. This call will be hosted by CCL staff members Flannery Winchester and Brett Cease.
Our September guest will be Dr. Dan Ariely, Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University and a founding member of the Center for Advanced Hindsight. Dan does research in behavioral economics and tries to describe it in plain language. As Dan learned about decision making and behavioral economics, he realized that this knowledge is relevant to many aspects of our lives, from financial decision making, to health, to better habits and even to a better personal life. Dan is a three-time New York Times bestselling author, and his books include Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality, The Honest Truth About Dishonesty, Irrationally Yours, Payoff, Dollars and Sense and Amazing Decisions. His latest book is Misbelief.
