Do you recall the best concert you ever went to? Best trip? Best meal? Chances are good that a few memories come to mind—maybe not every detail of the event, but perhaps a couple great moments. It can go the opposite way, too. Worst travel experience. Worst date. Our memory works in snapshots of particular parts of our experience.In this episode of Choiceology with <a href="http://www.katherinemilkman.com/">Katy Milkman</a>, we look at a predictable distortion in the way people remember experiences. And we’re doing it in part to honor a very special memory: the memory of the great Daniel Kahneman. He was a Nobel laureate, international best-selling author, repeated Choiceology guest, and a co-founder of the field that is at the heart of this show: behavioral economics. Our opinion of an experience is shaped by which parts we remember most. The same can hold true for how we remember people. <a href="https://mattpolly.com/">Matthew Polly</a> is the best-selling author of <a href="https://mattpolly.com/bruce-lee">Bruce Lee: A Life</a>, a biography of the late great <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Bruce-Lee">Bruce Lee</a>. He retells the story of how this legendary martial artist, actor, and cultural icon is understood in our collective memory. And then he reveals certain nuances in his biography that may change the way you perceive his legacy.Next, Katy speaks with <a href="https://oid.wharton.upenn.edu/profile/schweitz/">Maurice Schweitzer</a>, the Cecilia Yen Koo Professor of Operations, Information, and Decisions at the <a href="https://www.wharton.upenn.edu/">Wharton School of Business </a>at the University of Pennsylvania. Maurice explains how this memory distortion can be leveraged to better retain staff, improve your experience at work, have better conversations with colleagues, and even plan a more enjoyable vacation. He's also the author of <a href="https://friendandfoebook.com/">Friend and Foe: When to Cooperate, When to Compete, and How to Succeed at Both.</a> Important DisclosuresThe comments, views, and opinions expressed in the presentation are those of the speakers and do not necessarily represent the views of Charles Schwab.Data contained herein from third party providers is obtained from what are considered reliable source.
