Episode description

We recycle and exercise and generally try to do the right thing — but what if it’s not our failings that hold us back, but systems? Nick Chater, professor of behavioral science at the Warwick Business School, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the limits of what any individual can do when it comes to, say, their health or climate change and to explain why attacking systematic failures is the only way to really achieve large-scale results. His book, written with George Loewenstein, is “It’s on You: How Corporations and Behavioral Scientists Have Convinced Us That We’re to Blame for Society’s Deepest Problems.”
