Sense of Mind Podcast Episode 40: How Emotions Influence Economic Decisions

How do your emotions influence your economic decisions? This video explores how sadness, disgust, fear, gratitude, and happiness influence our decisions, especially those around money. It also explains a couple strategies for regulating our emotions so we can make wiser financial decisions.
