Behavioral Economics? What's That?
A new science sheds light on some of our most important decisions. Behavioral economics is the study of how and why people make money-related decisions. As a science it is relatively new, although some of its findings have been known intuitively by good salesmen and marketers for many years. Much of what has been learned from recent studies, however, has not yet been applied systematically in the real world of business. Here are some of the things the studies have shown thus far:
Confirmation Bias
We tend to act economically in a way that confirms current belief. When buying the same model of Mecedes, for example, current owners, who presumably already believe in the value of a Mercedes, pay $7,000 more, on average, than new Mercedes customers.I'm sure you can imagine the value of this knowledge to companies that sell high-priced items.
Decision Paralysis
Studies show that, given four samples of jam, for example, people actually spent more than when they... Behavioral Economics? What's That?

A New DVD Format War
Just when you thought it was safe to buy a nice new all-singing all dancing DVD player/recorder, along comes a new format war to add to an already confusing marketplace.Once the original DVD standard settled down, DVD players quickly became one of the most successful consumer items of all time. The new format revitalised the home entertainment market, and hardware manufacturers benefited both directly and indirectly, as enthusiasts clamoured to buy bigger and better televisions and sound equipment to get the best from their new DVD players.Then came recordable DVD, but the problem, as is so often the case, was that there were a number of different recording standards, all of them incompatible. It was just like Betamax versus VHS all over again. Now low-cost multi-format recorders supporting all the standards are hitting the streets, the recording problem is becoming less of an issue, and so one could be forgiven for thinking that's the end of the format wars.But technology has a habit...

Anam Cara Making sense of life
In Corrogue this Anam Cara or Soul Friend is coming to his senses.This morning it is a wet and windy Sunday morning. Each Sunday morning is an extended morning of rest. It is a morning of practice. I practice slowly coming to my senses. It is a morning in which I practice deep caring for the body and the soul.
This is a practice of awareness of the sensationalism of life moment to moment.We are beings of the senses. We make sense of our world via the senses. The senses are gateways. They keep us locked into a certain reality but they can be the medium of freedom from the limitation we call "our life." For too long religion has labelled the senses as something "not quite nice." For too long we have separated our senses as being something "not spiritual." Many of our religions have done the same with the sensational experience we call sex. As an Aman Cara I teach spirituality of the senses.
I teach what Van Morrison calls "A sense of wonder." An Anam Cara teaches you to honour...
