The Leonard Lopate Show

Your Money and Your Brain

Neuroeconomics is an emerging field of science that combines neuroscience, economics, psychology, and biology. The science shows that our brains are very self-deceptive and that they lead us to frequently make irrational investment decisions. In Your Money and Your Brain, finance writer Jason Zweig explains how understanding neuroeconomics can actually help us make better financial decisions.

Mr. Jason Zweig,

Thank you,
