Description:

With so many competing priorities pulling us in different directions every day―family, friends, work, our health―it can feel difficult to make decisions that are aligned with what we care about most. Especially in the moment, we often default to the immediate demand, the path of least resistance, the worn old habit we wanted to change. In What We Value: The Neuroscience of Choice & Change, pioneering scholar Emily Falk, reveals how we can transform our relationship with the daily decisions that define our lives―opening pathways to make more purposeful, fulfilling choices; more successfully change our behavior; and influence others to see differently―by thinking like neuroscientists.

Falk will be in conversation with Ethan Kross, (FAN ’25), Professor, Management & Organizations, Ross School of Business, and Director of the Emotion and Self Control Lab, University of Michigan. He is the author of the international bestseller Chatter and the new bestselling book Shift: Managing Your Emotions — So They Don’t Manage You.
