Smile Newsletter: Five Love Notes to My Grandmother
October 10, 2011
I was at the grocery store today and noticed that its reusable grocery bags were on sale. I always hate to see people using plastic bags for many reasons, mainly because we live near the ocean, I often see plastic bags being blown around, and many end up being eaten by whales, dolphins, and other animals that think the bags are food. I bought 4 of the reusable bags and asked the cashier to give them to the next 4 people who didn’t have a reusable bag. The cashier thought it was a great idea and added a few more bags :-). –Seattlegirl

How do we decide to do anything at all and, out of the myriad choices we face each day, what makes one option more preferable over another? This is one of the most fundamental questions of the social sciences, from consumer psychology to economic theory to behavioral science. Today, at the risk of meta-irony, we look at not one but five fantastic books and talks that explore the subject.” Maria Popova surveys five intriguing perspectives on the psychology of choice. http://premiere.whatcounts.com/t?ctl=1698CF2:A2F402742563B09AB3F6664E3EE6A230B4B847859706E37D&
