Author of 'Predictably Irrational', 'The Upside of Irrationality', 'The Honest Truth About Dishonesty' (which was made into a Netflix documentary called (Dis)Honesty: The Truth About Lies), 'Payoff' and his latest book, 'Dollars & Sense'.

We shared a few red wines, a kebab and a night at the ballet with Dan and talked about things like procrastination, hedonic adaptation, using relativity as a short cut for comparisons, how he got into behavioural economics, and so much more. Check it out!
