Just arrived!! A new book 'Memory in Science for Society' - I wrote a chapter w/ Dan Schacter reviewing how people make decisions about the future.

We cover intertemporal choice, focusing on applied attempts to reduce delay discounting and increase patience.

Prospect Theory's famous “S-shaped” value function is a cornerstone of behavioural economics. Surprisingly, more than 40 years after its inception, there seem to be a lot of remaining puzzles about it.

Or... perhaps not anymore. A 🧵that may change your view on Prospect Theory.

@rifish @Shepherd_books Great recommendations - and thank you for the nod to The Invention of Tomorrow!!

[Richard Fisher @rifish]

Second, The Invention of Tomorrow: A Natural History of Foresight, by Thomas Suddendorf, Jonathan Redshaw & @Adamdbulley (also Suddendorf's earlier book The Gap is good too). A terrific intro to foresight and mental time travel https://t.co/4DsvisunfR

[Richard Fisher @rifish]

For @Shepherd_books, I compiled a reading list of books I'd recommend for taking a longer view of time, complementing my own, The Long View. I explain here why I personally found them such excellent reads! https://t.co/CuUFZlr7ku

[Richard Fisher @rifish]

Delighted to have an adaptation of The Long View in The Observer today! It draws on a number of themes from the book, particularly the way that crisis can shorten our sense of time https://t.co/UXP7Bjo8FI

🎉 Book Cover Reveal! 🎉

I am so excited that I can officially unveil the book covers for my new book “A Theory of Everyone”. 📚

I'll be talking a lot more about the book between now and September. All retweets, likes, and other help getting the book out to your networks would mean a lot to me!

Not another bias!
Behavioural economics has excelled in identifying biases. We have now reached the point of diminishing returns in this quest.
What lies ahead in behavioural sciences? Making sense of the reasons we behave the way we do. 🧵
