Vid: Lies, Cheating, and Creativity – Q&A with Behavioral Economist Dan Ariely

“Imagine you have some kind of voice within you asking, ‘Am I
behaving morally or not?'” says Dan Ariely, a behavioral economist
and author of the book
The Honest Truth About Dishonesty
. “That voice
sometimes is asleep.”

Reason TV’s Naomi Brockwell talked to Ariely at Tribeca Film
Festival’s Games For
Change
conference, where Ariely and his team set up a “Truth
Box,”
a sort of confessional where participants could record
themselves talking about a meaningful lie they’d told in their
lives.
