Hi everyone, it is Helen and you're listening to the fourth and final week of the Squiggly Careers Video Book Club.

And actually today is the final episode.

But there's still a little bit more learning to go this week.

So make sure you join into the LinkedIn conversation that we've got going on tomorrow.

And also make sure that you look at the Friday kind of insights into actions so that

you can take everything you've been learning and you could do something different with it.

So today, what are we talking about?

Well, you are going to hear me talk to Dan Ariely about his video book, predictably irrational.

And what I talk about with Dan is when in our career are we most likely to bring this kind of

irrationality into our decision making and what can we do about it? I think one of the things

of your past decisions and that actually we almost need to be a bit more neutral. When we're looking

at choices in our career, we need to be a bit more neutral so that we can make better decisions.

You'll hear us talk about it, but it's definitely something that I have reflected on quite a lot

And we're going to dive into Dan's book,

Predictably Irrational, which is our video book Focus for the Week.

So I'm going to start with a really big question, Dan.

What irrational decisions do you think people often make about their careers?
