Graeme Newell's video: The simple brain hack for spending less enjoying more

Most of the clothes hanging in our closets are powerful evidence of just how horribly flawed our shopping impulses can be. Our brain was on fire with anticipation when we bought most of those clothes, but now they hang there undisturbed for months. Why did we buy this stuff in the first place? If you want to spend less and enjoy the stuff you purchase more, brain science has a wonderful hack you’ll want to learn about. Watch this short video to learn how curbing spending can be easier than you think. Finance psychology expert Graeme Newell explains how our very flawed human brain tends to slip up when we make big finance and life decisions. Most of our decision-making is done in our subconscious brain. When we make a choice, what happens is that our subconscious brain feels something and then our conscious brain affirms what we already believe. Overcoming cognitive bias in decision making is not hard. It’s simply a matter of learning to recognize the signs that a cognitive bias might be likely, then stopping the pattern. Behavior biases in finance show up all the time. Behavioral science shows us the way forward and gives us smart tactics for making optimal decisions. The key is to learn tactics from finance psychology and behavioral finance concepts that we can put into action throughout the course of our day. Graeme Newell is a researcher in behavioral investing, behavioral economics and finance psychology. He is a professional economics speaker, a personal finance speaker and an expert in behavioral investing. In this video you’ll learn all about how cognitive bias can trick us into making foolish choices. You’ll learn specific ways to recognize the signs that a bad decision is likely, then how to quickly get back on track. Watch this video to learn about the new research that’s revealing the best strategy for making smarter decisions.
