One of my favourite sci­ence writers—the edi­tor at large of Seed Mag­a­zine, Jonah Lehrer—has been inter­viewed by The Com­mon­wealth Club about his forth­com­ing book, The Deci­sive Moment/How We Decide (UK/US titles, respectively).

The video of the inter­view is full of excel­lent anec­dotes (backed-up by peer reviewed research) on many top­ics rang­ing from emo­tional and ratio­nal deci­sion mak­ing to the tip-of-the-tongue effect and the placebo effect.

(For those of you who attended Ignite Cardiff last night, Lehrer dis­cusses a study very sim­i­lar to one I dis­cussed in my talk that you may find interesting.)
