Elements of Choice with Eric J. Johnson

from The Behavioral Design Podcast · host Samuel Salzer and Aline Holzwarth

In this episode, we speak with Eric J. Johnson about all things choice architecture and choice engines. Eric is professor at Columbia Business School at Columbia University and Director of the Center for Decision Sciences. His recently published book The Elements of Choice is a fascinating exploration of decision-making research revealing how choices are designed—and why it’s so important to understand their inner workings. We had a fun conversation with Eric about everything choice architecture and beyond, including how to provide the right amount of options, the attributes of a good choice engine, and that there's no neutral choice architecture – the environment is always influencing our decisions one way or another. We also ask Eric to redesign popular digital products, including Tinder, Netflix, and Amazon.  Relevant links Eric's website Twitter Book: The Elements of Choice Support the podcast by joining Habit Weekly Pro 🚀 and by giving us a review on Apple Podcast.
