We downed some eggnog and decided to record an impromptu Christmas special. We have a chat about how insights from behavioural science might help the festive holidays proceed more smoothly:

 šŸ˜‚  Why Joe's team might think (in his own words) that he’s an ā€˜egotistical a*&hole’.

😧  A simple way to feel better about Christmas (but you might not like it).

😠  The nudges that retailers use to get us to buy. 

šŸ’µ  Gift cards or cash as a present – to constrain or not to constrain?

šŸ¤”  Do New Year’s resolutions get a bad rap and how can we can structure them to give a better chance of success?

šŸæ Our favourite Christmas movie as a metaphor for decision-making and a gift that helps people understand their value to the world.

Wherever you are, however you celebrate (or don’t), we hope that you have get some high-quality time with family and friends over the festive period. 

 We’ll see you on the other side.
