Why You Do Things You Know Are Bad for You: A Behavioural Scientist Explains - Jason Lear

Why Do You Keep Doing Things You Know Are Bad for You? A
Behavioural Scientist Explains.
Most people think they're in control of their decisions. They're
not, and the science proves it.


Ryan sits down with Jason Lear, behavioural analyst and organiser
of TEDxBlackMountain, for one of the most thought-provoking
episodes of Made in Chaos yet. Jason breaks down the hidden
patterns driving human behaviour in sport, business, leadership,
addiction, and everyday life, and explains why most attempts to
change fail before they even begin.


What we get into:


Why humans are fundamentally irrational and what that means for
your decisions
What gets tolerated becomes the standard, and why it destroys
teams and businesses
The Rosenthal experiment: how your expectations literally change
other people's outcomes
Social media as a slot machine, and the behavioural engineering
behind the scroll
Why ultra-processed food and your phone were built on the same
addiction science
The EAST Framework: the proven system for actually changing
behaviour
Why people repeat behaviours that clearly ruin their lives
What truly separates people who change from those who stay
stuck
TEDx: what makes an idea worth sharing and worth
remembering
Thinking fast slowly, the elite skill that separates great
performers under pressure
