Jeff Kreisler is Head of Behavioral Science for JP Morgan Private Bank and Founding Editor of PeopleScience, a (now-defunct) thought-leadership platform for applied behavioral science.  Jeff’s second book – Dollars And Sense: How We Misthink Money and How To Spend Smarter – is available in over 20 countries and was dubbed Best Business Book of the Year by Business Insider, Huffington Post, Audible, and the Washington Post ("A brilliant and accessible look at behavioral economics"). 
Jeff is really just another typical Princeton educated lawyer turned award-winning comedian, best-selling author, TV pundit, keynote speaker and champion for behavioral science. He uses research, humor and life to understand, explain and nudge the world. 
His first book was the satire, Get Rich Cheating.
The New York Times called Jeff “Delectable,” The Economist said his was “A truly special event” and his kids still think he’s “cool.”
