TED Talk a Day - Day 1: Are We in Control of Our Own Decisions? by Dan Ariely

I'm currently reading Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely so when i saw that he had a TED talk i jumped on it.

Here are the notes i jotted down while watching the talk:

• hidden decisions shape our lives
• the illusion of decision-making
• when we don't know what to do we make the decision that is being made for us
• we don't know our own preferences very well
• we don't understand our cognitive limitations like we understand our physical ones

Here is the talk.  Feel free to comment below regarding your thoughts.
