About the Program
Jonah Lehrer describes how the brain makes decisions that combine reason and feeling and can change depending on the situation. Mr. Lehrer studies several subjects, including a professional football quarterback, a hedge fund manager, and an airline pilot to determine how decisions are made in certain environments and how they can be made better. Jonah Lehrer discusses his book with Robert Krulwich of NPR's “Radio Lab” at the Strand Bookstore in New York City.
