 I was at the grocery store today and noticed that its reusable grocery bags were on sale. I always hate to see people using plastic bags for many reasons, mainly because we live near the ocean, I often see plastic bags being blown around, and many end up being eaten by whales, dolphins, and other animals that think the bags are food. I bought 4 of the reusable bags and asked the cashier to give them to the next 4 people who didn’t have a reusable bag. The cashier thought it was a great idea and added a few more bags :-). –Seattlegirl

This is one of the most fundamental questions of the social sciences, from consumer psychology to economic theory to behavioral science. Today, at the risk of meta-irony, we look at not one but five fantastic books and talks that explore the subject.” Maria Popova surveys five intriguing perspectives on the psychology of choice. { read more }
