0:00.0	Welcome back for Part 2 with Dan Ariely, the behavioral economist who believes we're living in a time of ever decreasing trust,
0:06.8	and that that breakdown in trust is going to have massive negative implications for our lives.
0:11.8	In this part, Dan and I go deeper into how we inoculate ourselves from believing falsehoods,
0:17.1	falling into groupthink, or just plain failing to realize that we think emotionally instead of rationally.
0:22.6	Mastering your mind is one of the most important things you can do if you want to be successful in life.
0:27.6	So open a nap and take some notes because it's time for part two with Dan Ariely.
0:32.6	This is why going back to the example you used of education, this is where that all breaks down.

1:01.0	is that the differences between good schools and not so good schools are less about what the kids
1:06.1	learn during the year and what more about what they forget in the summer, right? Kids who have an
1:12.6	amazing environment and summer camps and homes that they teach them don't forget much in the
1:18.3	summer, maybe they even learn, and kids that come from impoverished neighborhoods forget a lot
1:23.4	in the summer. Once you understand this, you say, let's move to them to something like the KIP
