Despite being an executive at Dell, I didn’t have an invite to last weeks Dell World in Austin. Just a couple of the external speakers were President Bill Clinton and the Freakanomics authors and speakers Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt.

Even if you were able to attend, I know Dubner didn’t cover Christmas gift giving, and this is a great listen. Spoiler alert, it includes a mention of compression socks.

Dubner talks to theĀ economist, Justin Wolfers, who takes what Dubner likes to call the anti-narcissist approach, the spotlight effect. Don’t over think it. You can read a transcript here.
