Penn Alumni Webinar: The Art of Choosing In an era of ever-expanding options, choice is a powerful tool to define ourselves and mold our lives – but what do we know about the motivations, biases, and influences that aid or hinder our endeavors? In other words - how do we know what we want? Join Penn alumna and Columbia University professor Sheena Iyengar, W’92, a leading expert on choice, as she discusses her latest book, The Art of Choosing. Iyengar sets out to help us become better choosers by asking fascinating questions: Is the desire for choice innate or created by culture? Why do we sometimes choose against our best interests? How much control do we really have over what we choose? Through this process, you will discover how your choices – both mundane and momentous – are shaped by many different forces, visible and invisible. When: Tuesday, April 27, 2010, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM PDT Requirements:
