Jeff Kreisler is a best-selling author and financial columnist whose prized insights on the intersection of behavioral science and money help audiences better understand why people do the things they do, especially when it comes to finance. Jeff’s research on how human behavior drives spending and saving habits, economic ebbs and flows, and the future of our markets led to his best-selling book Dollars and Sense: How We Misthink Money and How to Spend Smarter. The work was named a “Best Book of the Year” by Business Insider, Audible, Huffington Post, and The Washington Post. It was also named the “#1 Book Every FinTech Professional Should Read in 2018” by the global fintech company Strands.
Led by the principle that behavioral science can empower organizations and individuals to learn, adopt, and grow, Jeff—who is a former stand-up comic, Princeton graduate, and University of Virginia-trained attorney—offers dynamic, relatable, and humor-filled presentations to share his profound research and reflections on the human element of economics. Jeff drums up important conversations about how we think about and relate to money, and helps clients answer questions like, “Why do we make the decisions that we do?” and “How can we reframe our financial decision-making to create better outcomes?” Audiences take careful notes and talk about Jeff’s presentations long after they’re over, considering the impact of his thoughts on the ways accountability, habits, loyalty, and relativity drive purchases. Jeff also touches on fintech, opportunity costs, “the pain of paying,” and the way new transactional platforms are shifting our understanding of money.
