We know how hard it is to change health behavior. Yet we spend our lives educating employees on the long term benefits of rational solutions, like eating healthier and exercising.

Today's guest, Dr. Shahram Heshmat studies how people make decisions over time and how we ignore future consequences. Shahram specializes in the behavioral economics of Addiction & Self Control.

In this episode we talk about:

  • What exactly is behavioral economics
  • Why promoting the long term benefits of health may not be impactful
  • Some motivational factors that influence our vulnerability for impulsive behavior. There’s one he calls the “what the hell” effect? That I can totally relate to.
  • How we can education the impulsive mind.

I ask Shahram what can we do as wellness professionals to apply these learnings and he leaves us with great parting thoughts with some clear examples.
