Marco Palma, Ph.D.: Using behavior science to improve money decisions
Show Notes

Lacy walks & talks with Dr. Marco Palma, behavioral economist and director of the Behavior Lab at Texas A&M University. Through research, Dr. Palma and his team are discovering what motivates our behaviors, like food choices and spending. Why are we reluctant to change our behaviors, and how can we trick our brains to make better decisions? Learn how “commitment devices,” social support, and mood can influence our behaviors, and how setting small, achievable goals fuels motivation.
