Michael Shermer

In "The Mind of the Market," Skeptics Society founder and frequent "Airtalk" guest Michael Shermer studies the function of the human brain in markets. Why do we hold on to stocks long after it becomes clear we should sell them? Why do we pay more for shirts with popular brand names, even when the labels are only visible on the inside? Shermer looks at the neurology and emotional roots of our everyday buying decisions.
