Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit Invited Speaker Series
Abstract
A day doesn’t go by without money coming into our interactions. But how much do we really understand it? We know we need money. We tend to want more of it. But why do we behave the way we do with it? And why does it have such a hold on us?
Award-winning presenter of BBC Radio 4’s All in the Mind, Claudia Hammond and author of the new book Mind over Money delves into the surprising psychology of money to show us that our relationship with the stuff is more complex than we might think. Exploring the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, biology and behavioural economics, she also reveals some simple and effective tricks that will help you think about, use and save money better – from how being grumpy helps if you don’t want to be ripped off to why you should opt for the more expensive pain relief, from how to shop for a new laptop to why you should never offer to pay your friends for favours.
