Re-Read Saturday News

Chapter 35, titled Two Selves, begins Section Five.  Kahneman starts this chapter by discussing the concept of experienced utility. Berridge and O’Doherty define experienced utility as “the hedonic or pleasurable experience produced by the outcome when eventually gained.” A person that was attempting to maximize experienced utility would make decisions that yield the most pleasure over other attributes.  

The current installment of Re-read Saturday is:

Week 35: Two Selves - http://bit.ly/2FKJi2M 

Or start at the beginning

Week 1: Logistics and Introduction http://bit.ly/2UL4D6h

We will announce the next book in the re-read series next week.  

Next SPaMCAST

SPaMCAST 582 will feature our interview with Paul Gibbons.  We discussed his new book Impact. Along the way, we talked about biases and more importantly about de-biasing. This is the second book in the series he began with  The Science of Successful Organization Change which we discussed on SPaMCAST 480. That was a good interview  . . . this one is better!
