He has authored several New York Times bestsellers, such as "Predictably Irrational," and co-founded the Center for Advanced Hindsight to apply behavioral science in practical ways. Ariely's expertise includes designing better systems to improve human behavior, understanding motivation and engagement, and addressing inefficiencies in organizations.
