ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Baba Shiv - Neuroeconomist
Baba Shiv studies how “liking” and “wanting” shape the choices we make, and what that means in the world of marketing.

Why you should listen

Does a bottle of wine’s price tag price affect the pleasure one experiences in buying and drinking it? Does getting immediate feedback on a choice lead a person to doubt their decision? Does being denied something make people pursue it more hotly while simultaneously liking it less? Over his academic career, Baba Shiv has researched these questions in neuroeconomics, winning awards like the William O’Dell prize for an article that made a significant, long-term contribution to marketing theory and practice. Two of Professor Shiv's publications have received the Citation of Excellence from Emerald Management Reviews, and his research has been been featured on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and on NPR's "Radiolab," as well as in the Financial Times, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.

A professor at Stanford's Graduate School of Busines , Shiv is the director of the Strategic Marketing Management Executive Program and teaches several popular MBA courses including “The Frinky Science of the Mind” and “Entrepreneurial Ventures in Luxury Markets.” He served as the editor of the Journal of Consumer Research and is also on the editorial boards of the Journal of Consumer Psychology, Journal of Retailing, Journal of Marketing and the Journal of Marketing Research.

這幾年,研究顯示一個和人類直覺相反的事實: 有時候太多的選擇讓我們變得較不快樂。這現象在醫療治療選擇方面可能甚至更常出現。Baba Shiv 呈現一個吸引人的研究結果,解釋了"選擇"為何會開啟"懷疑"的大門,並且建議將決策權轉讓給別人--特別是論及生死的決策--可能是對我們最好的方式。

26088
4040
她的家庭絕對沒有癌症病史。
00:46
The most horrifying可怕的 and agonizing折騰 part部分
11
30128
3069
治療癌症過程中最惶恐和折磨的階段
00:49
of the whole整個 experience經驗 was we were making製造
12
33197
2664
治療癌症過程中最惶恐和折磨的階段
00:51
decisions決定 after decisions決定 after decisions決定
13
35861
1905
是我們做完一決定後又被迫去做另一個決定。
00:53
that were being存在 thrust推力 upon us.
14
37766
2068
是我們做完一決定後又被迫去做另一個決定。
00:55
Should it be a mastectomy乳房切除術? Should it be a lumpectomy乳房腫瘤切除術?
15
39834
3186
該做乳房切除術嗎?該做乳房腫瘤切除術嗎?
00:58
Should it be a more aggressive侵略性 form形成 of treatment治療,
16
43020
2376
在乳癌第二期B階段,該做更積極的治療方式嗎?
01:01
given特定 that it was stage階段 IIBIIB?
17
45396
1881
在乳癌第二期B階段,該做更積極的治療方式嗎?
01:03
With all the side effects效果?
18
47277
1536
產生副作用怎麼辦?
01:04
Or should it be a less aggressive侵略性 form形成 of treatment治療?
19
48813
2888
或是該做沒那麼積極的治療方式?
01:07
And these were being存在 pressed壓制 upon us
20
51701
2198
而且我們被醫生的這些壓力壓得喘不過氣來。
01:09
by the doctors醫生.
21
53899
2276
而且我們被醫生的這些壓力壓得喘不過氣來。
01:12
Now, you could ask this question,
22
56175
1467
現在你可能會問這個問題,
01:13
why were the doctors醫生 doing this?
23
57642
1666
為什麼醫生要這樣做呢?
01:15
Now, a simplistic簡單化 answer回答 would be,
24
59308
1783
現在有人可能會說,
01:16
the doctors醫生 are doing this because they want to protect保護 themselves他們自己 legally法律上.
25
61091
4368
醫生會這樣做是為了要合法的保護自己嘛。
01:21
I think that is too simplistic簡單化.
26
65459
1723
我覺得這是太幼稚的想法。
01:23
These are well-meaning善意 doctors醫生,
27
67182
1477
這些都是有良心的醫生,
01:24
some of them have gone走了 on to become成為 very good friends朋友.
28
68659
2039
其中有些醫生進而和病人成為要好的朋友。
01:26
They probably大概 were simply只是 following以下 the wisdom智慧
29
70698
2137
他們可能只是遵循著那些隨年紀所增長的經驗
01:28
that has come down the ages年齡, this adage諺語 that when you're making製造 decisions決定,
30
72835
3808
有句老話這樣說的,當你作決定時,
01:32
especially特別 decisions決定 of importance重要性,
31
76643
2423
特別是重要決定時,
01:34
it's best最好 to be in charge收費, it's best最好 to be in control控制,
32
79066
2939
最好是要掌控一切,
01:37
it's best最好 to be in the driver's司機 seat座位.
33
82005
2993
如同坐在駕駛座般。
01:40
And we were certainly當然 in the driver's司機 seat座位,
34
84998
2057
而且我們的確是如同坐在駕駛座,
01:42
making製造 all these decisions決定, and let me tell you,
35
87055
1830
做所有決定,讓我來告訴你,
01:44
if some of you had been there,
36
88885
1535
如果你們有人曾經處於那情況下,
01:46
it was a most agonizing折騰 and harrowing悲慘 experience經驗.
37
90420
3872
都會覺得這是最惶恐和折磨的過程。
01:50
Which哪一個 got me thinking思維.
38
94292
1449
這讓我開始思索一些事。
01:51
I said, is there any validity合法性 to
39
95741
1562
我想,有任何方式來驗證
01:53
this whole整個 adage諺語 that when you're making製造 decisions決定,
40
97303
3590
那句老話,當你作決定時,
01:56
it's best最好 to take the driver's司機 seat座位,
41
100893
2392
最好要如同坐在駕駛座,
01:59
be in charge收費, be in control控制?
42
103285
1264
一切置於掌控?
02:00
Or are there contexts上下文 where we're far better off
43
104549
3544
或者坐在乘客座讓其他人駕駛的方式
02:03
taking服用 the passenger's乘客 seat座位 and have someone有人 else其他 drive駕駛?
44
108093
3073
會比較好一點?
02:07
For example, a trusted信任 financial金融 advisor顧問,
45
111166
1755
比如,變成一個信任的理財顧問般,
02:08
could be a trusted信任 doctor醫生, etc等等.
46
112921
3060
可能是一個可以信任的醫生,等等。
02:11
And since以來 I study研究 human人的 decision決定 making製造,
47
115981
2152
而且由於我研究人類決策學,
02:14
I said, I'm going to run some studies學習
48
118133
3184
所以我想我要作一些研究
02:17
to find some answers答案.
49
121317
1480
找出答案。
02:18
And I'm going to share分享 one of these studies學習 with you today今天.
50
122797
2232
而我今天要和你們分享這研究的一些結果。
02:20
So, imagine想像 that all of you are participants參與者 in the study研究.
51
125029
4248
所以,想像你們都是這研究的實驗對象。
02:25
I want to tell you that what you're going to do in the study研究 is
52
129277
3177
我要告訴你們在這實驗中你們所要做的就是
02:28
you're going to drink a cup杯子 of tea.
53
132454
2535
你們要喝杯茶。
02:30
If you're wondering想知道 why, I'll tell you why in a few少數 seconds from now.
54
134989
4133
如果你們好奇原因,我待會幾秒鐘後會告訴你們。
02:35
You are going to solve解決 a series系列 of puzzles謎題,
55
139122
2620
你要去解開一連串的謎題,
02:37
and I'm going to show顯示 you examples例子 of these puzzles謎題 momentarily瞬間.
56
141742
3929
我馬上會給你看一些例子。
02:41
And the more puzzles謎題 you solve解決,
57
145671
1615
你解開越多謎題,
02:43
the greater更大 the chances機會 that you'll你會 win贏得 some prizes獎品.
58
147286
3390
你贏得獎金的機會就越大。
02:46
Now, why do you have to consume消耗 the tea?
59
150676
2208
那麼,為什麼你們必須喝茶呢?
02:48
Why? Because it makes品牌 a lot of sense.
60
152884
1504
為什麼呢? 因為這麼做相當有意義。
02:50
In order訂購 to solve解決 these puzzles謎題 effectively有效,
61
154388
2736
為了要正確的解開這些謎題,
02:53
if you think about it, your mind心神 needs需求 to be in two states狀態 simultaneously同時.
62
157124
3648
你們想一下,你的大腦必需要同時處在兩個狀態。
02:56
Right? It needs需求 to be alert警報,
63
160772
3075
對吧 ? 必需要清醒,
02:59
for which哪一個 caffeine咖啡因 is very good.
64
163847
2862
那麼,要喝咖啡因的茶比較好。
03:02
Simultaneously同時, it needs需求 to be calm冷靜.
65
166709
2944
同時,必需要保持鎮定。
03:05
Not agitated激動, calm冷靜. For which哪一個 chamomile黃春菊 is very good.
66
169653
5688
不能焦慮,要鎮定。那麼,要喝含洋甘菊的茶比較好。
03:11
Now comes the between-subjects主體間 design設計,
67
175341
2855
現在開始 “受試者間設計”,
03:14
the ABAB design設計, the ABAB testing測試.
68
178196
1480
亦即基本AB設計,AB測試。
03:15
So what I'm going to do is randomly隨機 assign分配 you
69
179676
1776
所以我將你們隨機分成兩組。
03:17
to one of two groups.
70
181452
2001
所以我將你們隨機分成兩組。
03:19
So imagine想像 that there is an imaginary假想 line out here,
71
183453
2743
所以想像有條想像的線在這裡。
03:22
so everyone大家 here will be group A,
72
186196
3033
所以這邊的人是組別A,
03:25
everyone大家 out here will be group B.
73
189229
2535
而這邊的人為組別B。
03:27
Now, for you folks鄉親, what I'm going to do is
74
191764
3209
現在,對你們這群人,我要做的就是
03:30
I'm going to show顯示 you these two teas,
75
194973
1903
我要給你們這兩種茶,
03:32
and I'm asking you, I'll go ahead and ask you,
76
196876
2128
而且我要你們
03:34
to choose選擇 your tea. So you can choose選擇 which哪一個 of the two tea you want.
77
199004
2761
選擇一種茶。所以你們能選擇要喝哪種茶。
03:37
You can decide決定, what is your mental心理 state:
78
201765
2280
你們能決定,要讓頭腦處於什麼狀態:
03:39
Okay, I'm going to choose選擇 the caffeinated含咖啡因的 tea,
79
204045
2013
好的,我要選擇含咖啡因的茶,
03:41
I'm going to choose選擇 the chamomile黃春菊 tea.
80
206058
1208
我要選擇含洋甘菊的茶。
03:43
So you're going to be in charge收費,
81
207266
1422
所以你將可掌握一切,
03:44
you're going to be in control控制, you're going to be in the driver's司機 seat座位.
82
208688
3821
控制一切,你將如同坐在駕駛座。
03:48
You folks鄉親, I'm going to show顯示 you these two teas,
83
212509
3219
你們這群人,我會給你們看這兩種茶,
03:51
but you don't have a choice選擇.
84
215728
2093
但你們沒有選擇權。
03:53
I'm going to give you one of these two teas,
85
217821
2251
我要給你們其中一種茶,
03:55
and keep in mind心神, I'm going to pick one of these
86
220072
2224
記著,我是隨機挑一種茶給你。
03:58
two teas at random隨機 for you.
87
222296
1942
記著,我是隨機挑一種茶給你。
04:00
And you know that.
88
224238
1732
而且你知道這過程。
04:01
So if you think about it, this is an extreme極端 case案件 scenario腳本,
89
225970
2649
所以如果你思考一下,這是一種極端條件的情境,
04:04
because in the real真實 world世界,
90
228619
1248
因為在現實世界中,
04:05
whenever每當 you are taking服用 passenger's乘客 seat座位,
91
229867
2151
每當你坐在乘客座時,
04:07
very often經常 the driver司機 is going to be someone有人 you trust相信,
92
232018
2521
駕駛人常常是你所信賴的人,
04:10
an expert專家, etc等等. So this is an extreme極端 case案件 scenario腳本.
93
234539
4520
經驗豐富的人。所以說這是一個極端狀況的情境。
04:14
Now, you're all going to consume消耗 the tea.
94
239059
4961
現在,你們都要喝下這杯茶。
04:19
So imagine想像 that you are taking服用 the tea now,
95
244020
1390
所以想像一下你們正在喝茶,
04:21
we'll wait for you to finish the tea.
96
245410
1953
我們會等你喝完茶的。
04:23
We'll give another另一個 five minutes分鐘 for the ingredient成分 to have its effects效果.
97
247363
3866
我們會再等你五分鐘等茶發揮作用。
04:27
Now you're going to have 30 minutes分鐘 to solve解決 15 puzzles謎題.
98
251229
5658
接著你們有30分鐘的時間解15個謎題。
04:32
Here's這裡的 an example of the puzzle難題 you're going to solve解決.
99
256887
3066
這是你們要解的謎題。
04:35
Anyone任何人 in the audience聽眾 want to take a stab?
100
259953
2321
有人要嘗試嗎?
04:38
(Audience聽眾: Pulpit講壇.) Baba巴巴 Shiv希夫: Whoa!
101
262274
2015
(聽眾: Pulpit) Baba Shiv: 哇!
04:40
Okay, that's cool.
102
264289
1609
好酷喔。
04:41
Yeah, so what we do if we had you, who will get the answer回答,
103
265898
2593
所以我們會做的就是如果你答對了,
04:44
as a participant參加者, we would have calibrated校準 the difficulty困難 level水平
104
268491
4143
基於你是參予者的緣故,我們會參考你的程度校正難度。
04:48
of the puzzles謎題 to your expertise專門知識.
105
272634
1959
基於你是參予者的緣故,我們會參考你的程度校正難度。
04:50
Because we want these puzzles謎題 to be difficult.
106
274593
2080
因為我們想要問題難一點。
04:52
These are tricky狡猾 puzzles謎題 because your first instinct直覺
107
276673
2512
這些是暗藏陷阱的問題,因為你第一個直覺反應
04:55
is to say "tulip鬱金香," and then you have to unstick扯去 yourself你自己.
108
279185
4604
會說是"tulip",接著你會覺得不對。
04:59
Right? So these have been calibrated校準 to your level水平 of expertise專門知識.
109
283789
3497
對吧? 所以這些問題已經參考你們程度調得更難了。
05:03
Because we want this to be difficult, and I'll tell you why momentarily瞬間.
110
287286
4024
因為我們想要讓謎題變難。而我待會告訴你們原因。
05:07
Now, here's這裡的 another另一個 example.
111
291310
2480
現在,這裡有另一個例子。
05:09
Anyone任何人? It's much more difficult.
112
293790
2251
有人想嘗試嗎?這比較難。
05:11
(Audience聽眾: Embark從事.) BSBS: Yeah, wow. Okay.
113
296041
2208
(聽眾:Embark) BS:耶,哇,好的。
05:14
So, yeah, so this is again difficult.
114
298249
1937
所以,而這也是一個困難的問題。
05:16
You will say "kambar卡巴," then you will have to go, "maker製作者,"
115
300186
1710
你會說”kambar” 接著你必定會說,”maker”,
05:17
and all that, and then you can unstick扯去 yourself你自己.
116
301896
2025
說完那些後,你會覺得說的不對。
05:19
Okay, so you have 30 minutes分鐘 now to solve解決 these 15 puzzles謎題.
117
303921
4402
好的,所以現在你有30分鐘來解決這15個謎題。
05:24
Now, the question we're asking here
118
308323
2424
現在,我的問題是
05:26
is in terms條款 of the outcome結果,
119
310747
2078
就結果而言,
05:28
in terms條款 of the number of puzzles謎題 solved解決了,
120
312825
1808
就解開的謎題數而言,
05:30
will you in the driver's司機 seat座位
121
314633
2992
坐在”駕駛座”上的你們
05:33
end結束 up solving more puzzles謎題,
122
317625
1840
會解開更多謎題嗎,
05:35
because you are in control控制, you could decide決定 which哪一個 tea you will choose選擇,
123
319465
2984
因為你們可以將一切置於掌控,決定喝哪種茶,
05:38
or would you be better off,
124
322449
2265
或是你們(乘客)會表現的比較好,
05:40
in terms條款 of the number of puzzles謎題 solved解決了?
125
324714
2470
就解開的謎題數而言?
05:43
And systemically全身 what we will show顯示,
126
327184
2868
我們將系統性的呈現,
05:45
across橫過 a series系列 of studies學習,
127
330052
1440
透過一系列的研究,
05:47
is that you, the passengers乘客,
128
331492
2183
就是你們,這些”乘客”,
05:49
even though雖然 the tea was picked採摘的 for you at random隨機,
129
333675
3630
即使你們無法選擇要喝哪種茶,
05:53
will end結束 up solving more puzzles謎題 than you, the drivers司機.
130
337305
4186
但所解開的謎題數將比你們這些"駕駛者"更多。
05:57
We also observe another另一個 thing,
131
341491
3025
我們也觀察到其它現像,
06:00
and that is, you folks鄉親 not only are solving fewer puzzles謎題,
132
344516
2248
也就是,你們(駕駛座的人)所解開的謎題數不但比較少,
06:02
you're also putting less juice果汁 into the task任務.
133
346764
2951
而且放在解謎題上的精力也較少。
06:05
Less effort功夫, you're less persistent一貫, and so on.
134
349715
2896
沒那麼的努力,沒那麼有毅力,等等。
06:08
How do you know that?
135
352611
1143
你怎麼知道呢?
06:09
Well we have two objective目的 measures措施.
136
353754
2569
恩,我們有兩個客觀的評估方式。
06:12
One is, what is the time, on average平均, you're taking服用
137
356323
2871
首先,你花在解謎的時間平均有多少?
06:15
in attempting嘗試 to solve解決 these puzzles謎題?
138
359194
1929
首先,你花在解謎的時間平均有多少?
06:17
You will spend less time compared相比 to you.
139
361123
3656
和你們(這些乘客)相比,你們(這些駕駛)花較少的時間。
06:20
Second第二, you have 30 minutes分鐘 to solve解決 these,
140
364779
2048
第二,你們有30分鐘解謎,
06:22
are you taking服用 the entire整個 30 minutes分鐘, or are you giving up
141
366827
1968
你們會用掉30分鐘嗎,或著你們會在30分鐘之前放棄呢?
06:24
before the 30 minutes分鐘 elapse過去?
142
368795
1529
你們會用掉30分鐘嗎,或著你們會在30分鐘之前放棄呢?
06:26
You will be more likely容易 to give up before the 30 minutes分鐘 elapse過去 compared相比 to you.
143
370324
5005
和你們(這些乘客)相比,你們(這些駕駛)容易提前放棄。
06:31
So, you're putting in less juice果汁, and therefore因此 the outcome結果:
144
375337
2909
所以你們(這些駕駛)放在解謎上的精力較少,所以結果是:
06:34
fewer puzzles謎題 solved解決了.
145
378246
3600
所解開的謎題數較少。
06:37
Now, that brings帶來 us now to, why does this happen發生?
146
381846
4201
現在,讓我們來看看,為什麼會這樣呢?
06:41
And under what situations情況, when would we see this pattern模式 of results結果
147
386047
4200
而且在什麼情況下,我們會看到這樣的結果,
06:46
where the passenger乘客 is going to show顯示 better, more favorable有利 outcomes結果
148
390247
3881
也就是,乘客相較於駕駛會表現得比較好?
06:50
compared相比 to the driver司機?
149
394128
2740
也就是,乘客相較於駕駛會表現得比較好?
06:52
It all has to do with when you face面對 what I call the INCAINCA.
150
396868
4960
這都和當你們面臨(問題)所產生的INCA有關係。
06:57
It's an acronym縮寫 that stands站立 for
151
401828
2119
這是一個縮寫,代表著
06:59
the nature性質 of the feedback反饋 you're getting得到 after you've made製作 the decision決定.
152
403947
4089
當你們作完決定後,你們所得到的結果蘊含的特性。
07:03
So, if you think about it, in this particular特定 puzzle難題 task任務,
153
408036
2615
所以,如果你在這個猜謎實驗中檢視一下這些(特性),
07:06
it could happen發生 in investing投資 in the stock股票 market市場,
154
410651
1880
(你會發現)股票投資市場也可能會出現這些特性,
07:08
very volatile揮發物 out there, it could be the medical situation情況 --
155
412531
2512
很反覆無常,醫療情境也有這些(特性)--
07:10
the feedback反饋 here is immediate即時.
156
415043
2843
(做完決定後)都立即得知結果。
07:13
You know the feedback反饋, whether是否 you're solving the puzzles謎題 or not.
157
417886
3453
不管你解多少謎題,你都會立即知道是否解開謎題。
07:17
Right? Second第二, it is negative.
158
421339
2514
沒錯吧? 第二,所得到的結果是消極的。
07:19
Remember記得, the deck甲板 was stacked堆疊 against反對 you.
159
423853
2579
回想一下,當初所設計的謎題難度,
07:22
In terms條款 of the difficulty困難 level水平 of these puzzles謎題.
160
426432
2567
這些問題都是用來難倒你的。
07:24
And this can happen發生 in the medical domain.
161
428999
1720
而且這情況可能會發生在醫界。
07:26
For example, very early on in the treatment治療,
162
430719
2088
例如,一開始所提的醫療過程,
07:28
things are negative, the feedback反饋, before things become成為 positive.
163
432807
3416
狀況未好轉前一切都是消極的。
07:32
Right? It can happen發生 in the stock股票 market市場.
164
436223
1881
沒錯吧? 這也可能會發生在股票市場。
07:34
Volatile揮發物 stock股票 market市場, getting得到 negative feedback反饋 that's also immediate即時.
165
438104
3623
變動的股市常發生沒獲利情況,而這也是立即性的。
07:37
And the feedback反饋 in all these cases is concrete具體.
166
441727
2856
而所有這些例子中(做完決定後)產生的結果都是具體的。
07:40
It's not ambiguous曖昧; you know if you've solved解決了 the puzzles謎題 or not.
167
444583
3218
這些結果並不模菱兩可; 你都可知道是否解開謎題。
07:43
Now, the added添加 one, apart距離 from this immediacy直接,
168
447801
3954
現在,再提一點,除了這種立即的特性,
07:47
negative, this concreteness具體性,
169
451755
3353
消極的特性,這種具體的特性外,
07:51
now you have a sense of agency機構.
170
455108
3896
你還會感受到一種背負感。
07:54
You were responsible主管 for your decision決定.
171
459004
2970
你要對所做的決定負責。
07:57
So what do you do?
172
461974
1394
所以你會做什麼呢?
07:59
You focus焦點 on the foregone已成 option選項.
173
463368
2664
你會將精力放在先前的選擇。
08:01
You say, you know what? I should have chosen選擇 the other tea.
174
466032
3680
那麼你知道嗎? 你會說什麼嗎?我當初應該選另一種茶的。
08:05
(Laughter笑聲)
175
469712
3196
(笑聲)
08:08
That casts鑄件 your decision決定 in doubt懷疑,
176
472908
2746
那會讓你懷疑自己的決定,
08:11
reduces減少 the confidence置信度 you have in the decision決定,
177
475654
2493
降低做決定的信心,
08:14
reduces減少 the confidence置信度 you have in the performance性能,
178
478147
2376
降低在表現時的信心,
08:16
the performance性能 in terms條款 of solving the puzzles謎題.
179
480523
1976
就解謎上的表現。
08:18
And therefore因此 less juice果汁 into the task任務,
180
482499
2328
因此放較少的精力在問題上,
08:20
fewer puzzles謎題 solved解決了, a less favorable有利 outcome結果 compared相比 to you folks鄉親.
181
484827
4912
相較之下,(駕駛)解開謎題數也就較少,導致不佳結果。
08:25
And this can happen發生 in the medical domain, if you think about it.
182
489739
2408
而且如果你思考一下,這現象也可能發生在醫界。
08:28
Right? A patient患者 in the driver's司機 seat座位, for example.
183
492147
2264
沒錯吧? 例如,坐在駕駛座的病人。
08:30
Less juice果汁, which哪一個 means手段 keeping保持 herself她自己 or himself他自己
184
494411
3439
(付出的)精力變得較少,這意味著在維持體態上
08:33
less physically物理 fit適合, physically物理 active活性 to hasten the recovery復甦 process處理,
185
497850
4089
較不那麼努力,較不積極在治療的過程,
08:37
which哪一個 is what is often經常 advocated主張. You probably大概 wouldn't不會 do that.
186
501939
3717
這情況常被人提到。你們也許不會那麼做。
08:41
And therefore因此, there are times when you're facing面對 the INCAINCA,
187
505656
5139
因此,有好幾次你們會面臨到INCA的狀況,
08:46
when the feedback反饋 is going to be immediate即時, negative,
188
510795
3856
當結果立即產生,出現消極情況,
08:50
concrete具體, and you have the sense of agency機構,
189
514651
2456
產生具體的結果,你感到背負感,
08:53
where you're far better off taking服用 the passenger's乘客 seat座位
190
517107
2984
從中得知,如果你坐在乘客座,處境會比較好,
08:55
and have someone有人 else其他 drive駕駛.
191
520091
3585
讓其他人駕駛。
08:59
Now, I started開始 off
192
523676
1168
我從嚴肅的話題起頭。
09:00
on the somber陰沉 note注意.
193
524844
1984
我從嚴肅的話題起頭。
09:02
I want to finish up on a more upbeat樂觀 note注意.
194
526828
1672
我想要以愉快的內容作結。
09:04
It has now been five years年份, slightly more than five years年份,
195
528500
3412
(太太的癌症治療)到目前已經五年多了,
09:07
and the good news新聞, thank God,
196
531912
1728
好消息是,感謝上帝,
09:09
is that the cancer癌症 is still in remission緩解.
197
533640
4784
癌症的症狀仍然在減輕中。
09:14
So it all ends結束 well,
198
538424
2137
所以,這一切到最後都蠻好的。
09:16
but one thing I didn't mention提到 was
199
540561
2560
但有件事我沒有提到,
09:19
that very early on into her treatment治療,
200
543121
3807
一開始的就醫過程,
09:22
my wife妻子 and I decided決定 that we will take the passenger's乘客 seat座位.
201
546928
3810
我太太和我決定坐在乘客的座位上,
09:26
And that made製作 so much of a difference區別
202
550738
2244
而那產生截然不同的結果,
09:28
in terms條款 of the peace和平 of mind心神 that came來了 with that,
203
552982
2756
我們帶著平靜的心情 "出發",
09:31
we could focus焦點 on her recovery復甦.
204
555738
1743
將注意力放在身體的復原上。
09:33
We let the doctors醫生 make all the decisions決定,
205
557481
2968
我們讓醫生做所有的決定,
09:36
take the driver's司機 seat座位.
206
560449
2097
讓醫生坐在駕駛座。
09:38
Thank you.
207
562546
1743
謝謝。
09:40

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Baba Shiv - Neuroeconomist
Baba Shiv studies how “liking” and “wanting” shape the choices we make, and what that means in the world of marketing.

Why you should listen

Does a bottle of wine’s price tag price affect the pleasure one experiences in buying and drinking it? Does getting immediate feedback on a choice lead a person to doubt their decision? Does being denied something make people pursue it more hotly while simultaneously liking it less? Over his academic career, Baba Shiv has researched these questions in neuroeconomics, winning awards like the William O’Dell prize for an article that made a significant, long-term contribution to marketing theory and practice. Two of Professor Shiv's publications have received the Citation of Excellence from Emerald Management Reviews, and his research has been been featured on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and on NPR's "Radiolab," as well as in the Financial Times, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.

A professor at Stanford's Graduate School of Busines , Shiv is the director of the Strategic Marketing Management Executive Program and teaches several popular MBA courses including “The Frinky Science of the Mind” and “Entrepreneurial Ventures in Luxury Markets.” He served as the editor of the Journal of Consumer Research and is also on the editorial boards of the Journal of Consumer Psychology, Journal of Retailing, Journal of Marketing and the Journal of Marketing Research.
