Dan Roam visits Google's Mountain View, CA
headquarters to discuss his book "The Back of
the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling
Ideas with Pictures." This event took place
on May 27, 2008, as part of the
Authors@Google series.
Drawing on twenty years of visual problem
solving combined with the recent discoveries
of vision science, this book shows anyone how
to clarify a problem or sell an idea by
visually breaking it down using a simple set
of visual thinking tools -- tools that take
advantage of everyone's innate ability to
look, see, imagine, and show. The Back of the
Napkin proves that thinking with pictures can
help anyone discover and develop new ideas,
solve problems in unexpected ways, and
dramatically improve their ability to share
their insights. This book will help readers
literally see the world in a new way.
Dan Roam is the founder and president of

Professor Dan Ariely visits Google's Mountain
View, CA headquarters to discuss his book
"Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces
That Shape Our Decisions." This event took
place on July 1, 2008, as part of the
Authors@Google series.
In a series of illuminating, often surprising
experiments, MIT behavioral economist Dan
Ariely refutes the common assumption that we
behave in fundamentally rational ways.
Blending everyday experience with
groundbreaking research, Ariely explains how
expectations, emotions, social norms, and
other invisible, seemingly illogical forces
skew our reasoning abilities. Not only do we
make astonishingly simple mistakes every day,
but we make the same types of mistakes,
Ariely discovers. We consistently overpay,
underestimate, and procrastinate. We fail to
understand the profound effects of our
emotions on what we want, and we overvalue
what we already own. Yet these misguided
behaviors are neither random nor senseless.
They're systematic and predictable—making
us predictably irrational.
Dan Ariely is the Alfred P. Sloan Professor
of Behavioral Economics at MIT, where he
holds a joint appointment between MIT's Media
Laboratory and the Sloan School of
Management. He is also a researcher at the
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and a visiting
professor at Duke University. Ariely wrote
this book while he was a fellow at the
Institute for Advance Study at Princeton.
