Kristen Berman is a behavioral scientist who coaches leaders on how to understand human behavior and how irrational we all actually are.
She runs irrational labs, and her work has fundamentally changed how I lead Merit America, how I teach, and even how I show up for my wonderfully rational husband Spencer.
Kristen breaks down the simplest human moments like a scientist, from the chocolate croissant that she didn't mean to eat, to why we struggle to make good habits stick.
We also get into how living in a commune has helped her optimize her life for the things that actually bring her happiness.
And she even gets me to commit live on the show to something that I've been putting off for years.
Welcome to the show.
One thing that is always so clear to me when we talk about persuasion, decision making, how people can do the things that will help them live the most impactful, joyful lives.
You light up.
And so I'd love to start with why.
What do you love about this work?
Okay, so we're in a coffee shop.
And you're waiting in line.
You see the price tag on the croissant.
You see people impatiently waiting for their espresso.
Where do you see беreal science at play?
In these moments.
You're one of the world's preeminent experts on choice architecture, on behavioral science.
When you go to that coffee shop, are you less susceptible to these nudges that are pulling at all the rest of us?
When we talk about choice architecture and these subtle nudges.
