    "Pop quiz: The following messages have what in common? * Frances Osborne's The Bolter is an Oprah Winfrey Book Club selection. Buy it now. * 75% of guests who stay in this hotel reuse their towels. Join them and reuse your towel to help save the environment. * Any money you donate will go to Rokia, a seven-year-old girl who lives in Mali, Africa. The answer? They all use principles of behavioral economics to influence their audience's decisions. And you can too. Nonprofit marketers and fundraisers often base important strategic and tactical choices on thinking grounded in established theories and practices, including direct marketing and economics. But what about established psychological theories? Enter behavioral economics."

      This one is for Michelle,when she decides to join us ;)
  •  
    I'm sure Michelle will join, if you keep putting stuff on that interests her! There are similarities between what the authors are saying and family learning. In the same way that you can't just put a roof on a homeless person's head and simply expect them to stay there, you can't just put someone into a family learning class either. That's where CLP comes in, with our holistic approach!!

Whilst Asian women who were told how "Asians who were good at math & science" performed on average much better with theis type of positive priming, than they did with negative priming in un-related tests. Wow ;-)
