Advice Goddess Radio, LIVE, Tonight, 7-8 pm PT: Dr. Vladas Griskevicius On Making More Effective Choices By Using "Deep Rationality"
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in science.
Decisions that we make that seem stupid can actually make a lot of evolutionary sense, meaning that they would have made sense in the ancestral world; they just don't make sense in the world in which we now live.
Unfortunately, we can't just tell our genes, "Hey, it's 2013! There are no hungry tigers roaming the streets of Baltimore and, by the way, my girlfriend's on The Pill."
But, my guest tonight, evolutionary psychologist, psychologist and marketing professor Dr. Vladas Griskevicius, is going to give us the background to make wiser choices in the future by helping us understand the ways we can be primed to act against our modern interests.
His fascinating book, co-authored with Dr. Douglas Kenrick, is "The Rational Animal: How Evolution Made Us Smarter Than We Think."

Don't miss last week's show with probably the best person out there on how to get your kids to behave.
It turns out some of the ways parents think they'll get their kids to behave -- by berating, threatening, and punishing -- are actually the least effective.
My guest, Yale University psychology professor, Dr. Alan E. Kazdin, who is also director of the Yale Parenting Center, has a parenting template that is not only effective at changing behavior in children, it does it by cutting out the screaming, yelling, and threatening.
Dr. Kazdin has written a fantastic and highly practical book, "The Everyday Parenting Toolkit: The Kazdin Method for easy, step-by-step, lasting change for you and your child." Join us for an incredibly effective, science-based rethink on how to parent kids into behaving the way you want -- with a minimum of stress and unhappiness for you and your kids.
