“Real change is a change of heart. It is a change in the way you feel about things and a change in the way you see yourself and your life. It is a change not only in perception, but in what you choose to do as a result. That is the real change.”

And science shows, when you make small changes to the environment, your hearth will follow.
Big Fan Dan!
BIG FAN DAN!!!
the lights shine in your eyes like the city was built just for you
David vs Goliath! Pun intended
yo that half-beard is littt why hasn’t this caught on?!?!
poor choice of words…
Interesting, so it doesn’t help to know how to act correctly, how to make the smart choices,
but even small changes in the environment help you to change your own behaviour completely.
The point seemed to be understanding how others make decisions and helping them to make better decisions.
Which is helpful so long as you only use that power for good.
So why choose half a beard? I like the ideas in the video though.
He didn’t choose it. Half his face was burned and he cant grow hair where the scars are.
@Deborah Monahan He did choose it, he could have shaved his entire face.
DieseOner His beard is thiccc. Shaving it all the time must get annoying.
I really, really enjoy the way you present your clever thoughts, dear Dan Ariely.
All the best to you.
