Claudia Hammond: Mind over Money

Festival of Ideas 2016

Talk

Please note: This event took place in June 2016

A day doesn’t go by without money coming in to our interactions. But how much do we really understand it? We know we need money. We tend to want more of it. But why do we behave the way we do with it? And why does it have such a hold on us?

Claudia Hammond delves into the surprising psychology of money to show us that our relationship with it is more complex than we might think. She reveals some simple and effective ways to help us think, use and save money better – from how to shop for a new laptop to why you should never offer to pay your friends for favours.
