Perspectives: Looking Back and Looking Forward with Nobel Laureate, Daniel Kahneman (Day 3 - Part 2/4)
Thursday, April 17, 2008: Evolving notions of well-being Post-lecture commentary by Daniel Gilbert, Harvard Professor of Psychology "What is well-being? Goal-satisfaction, happy experience, or living the good life?" Recent studies of well-being have produced numerous surprises, and replaced some classic puzzles by new ones. Adaptation is perhaps less puzzling (and less pervasive) than we used to think, but new evidence of sharp dissociations between what people experience and what they want (e.g., among colostomy patients) raises deep questions about our conception of well-being.

Perspectives: Looking Back and Looking Forward with Nobel Laureate, Daniel Kahneman (Day 2 - Part 4/4)
Wednesday, April 16, 2008: Decision making and rationality Post-lecture commentary by Frances Kamm, Harvard Professor of Philosophy and Public Policy "Are people rational?" The debate on this silly question has been very productive. It has produced refinements in the normative theory, a succession of increasingly substantive challenges to the rational-agent model, and new discoveries about the mind. The formal theory of rational choice cannot be implemented by a finite mind, but recent findings suggest that it is useful to identify degrees of rationality. Some decision makers are more rational than others, and broad frames produce more rational beliefs and choices than narrow frames do.

Perspectives: Looking Back and Looking Forward with Nobel Laureate, Daniel Kahneman (Day 1 - Part 3/4)
Tuesday, April 15, 2008: Judgment and Intuition Post-lecture commentary by David Laibson, Harvard Professor of Economics "What makes some ideas come to mind so much more easily than others?" The accumulation of partial answers to this classic question contributes to our understanding of both intuitive and reflective thought, and improves our ability to integrate individual differences into models of thought and to distinguish situations in which intuition can be trusted from others in which it is likely to go astray.
