Dollars and Sense Discussion with Author Jeff Kreisler

How do we – kids, adults, students and professionals alike – think about money? Why do we make the irrational financial decisions we do? How can science help us be better?

Author, comedian and ex-lawyer, Jeff Kreisler shares the practical and entertaining insights of behavioral science to give students better financial decision-making structures for their long and prosperous – but irrational and illogical – future.

His most recent book is Dollars And Sense: How We Misthink Money and How To Spend Smarter – co-authored with Dan Ariely and available in 22 countries. The book was dubbed one of the Best Personal Finance Books of the Year by The Washington Post (“A brilliant and accessible look at behavioral economics”),

In his talk and question and answers, Jeff exposes and explores the hidden forces that secretly drive choices about money. From student loans to five dollar lattes, Jeff touches on the psychology of money and leaves people ready to take on a world that wants our wallets. He explains why irrational behavior often interferes with best intentions when it comes to managing our money, saving, investing and avocado toast.
