Are the NPs who signed up ready to start the Dan Ariely course? I'm a bit nervous. Haven't studied for a few years. Looking forward to it though.

I'm a ready as I'm going to be. After an initial enthusiastic weekend of reading, I've not managed to read much further since. Seeing as I have yet to complete my last course of study, I'm not convinced I'm going to make it to the end.

At work, someone suggested I should watch the recent Horizon about decision making (and how we aren't as rational as we think) to 'help' me understand something. I quite enjoyed replying that it was something I'm aware of and soon to do a MOOC about

The Horizon program was fascinating! Well worth a watch.

You're further ahead than me. I haven't done the pre-read yet. If I'd have thought about it, I should have done it while I was in bed, but not convinced I'd have given it my best. Though I was off for 3 weeks so it was a golden opportunity missed. I plan to knuckle down tomorrow.

Unfortunately i Player says no to me watching Horizon.

Dan Ariely, the course leader, was the one on the programme who did the experiment pulling numbered balls out of a bag and seeing what the person would pay for a bottle of wine.

Sorry viva, I was going to post at the time - even got as far as typing out a post. Then deleted it as I guessed everyone had probably already heard about it
