Hidden Brain is a weekly podcast hosted by Shankar Vedantam. It's a show about science and human behaviour we think you'll enjoy. Dr Laurie Santos was a guest on the show - so we thought you'd appreciate a chance to hear her tell Shankar all about her research work on monkeys and what they tells us about how our own biases surrounding financial decisions developed.

  • Pushkin.

  • Hello Happiness Lab listeners.

  • We are currently hard at work on Season 3, which will be airing sometime later this summer.

  • But while you're waiting, we wanted to share something special,

  • an episode of one of my favorite podcasts.

  • Hidden Brain is a weekly podcast hosted by Shankar Vendantam.

  • Much like the Happiness Lab,

  • Hidden Brain explores the science of human behavior and how we can understand our behavioral quirks in order to make better decisions.

  • The show shines a spotlight on ideas that help us to better understand ourselves and the world around us.

  • You'll get a podcast that's guided by empathy, kindness, and great storytelling.

  • And so today, I want to share an episode of Hidden Brain.

  • It's one that I'm quite partial to because the main guest on the episode is me.

  • But this time, I'm not talking about the science of happiness.

  • Instead, I joined Schunker to talk about some of my other research,

  • studies on the evolutionary origin of our economic biases,

  • Shankar and I explore the question of why we make such bad decisions when it comes to money.

  • And you'll get to hear about some experiments I did back in the day with monkeys.

  • We'll look at what monkeys' choices can tell us about human behavior.

  • It was such a fun conversation.

  • I wanted to share it with you.
