We often think we are rational, that we know how to make decisions, that we are in control. But are we? In this talk by Dan Ariely, a leading Professor of Psychology and Behavioural Economics, whose talks on TED have been watched over 4.8million times, we will discover some of the ways we are out of control and influenced by forces we don’t always fully understand.

This is then followed by an interview with Chief Executive of the RSA Matthew Taylor.
