The Billionaire who is trying to go Broke

An excellent talk on why we like lots of choices, but "choice overload" does not make us happier
Mental Morsels
When Carl Friedrich Gauss was six years old (back in 1783), his teacher asked the students to add up all the numbers from 1 to 100. Unfortunately for the teacher, who was hoping to keep the class occupied, it took young Gauss only a few seconds to work out the answer. Can you figure out what Gauss did to come up with the answer?(Solution at the end)

Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die
by Chip Heath & Dan Heath
The instant classic about why some ideas thrive, why others die, and how to improve your idea's chances. In this book, Chip and Dan Heath reveal the anatomy of ideas that stick and explain ways to make ideas stickier, such as applying the human scale principle, using the Velcro Theory of Memory, and creating curiosity gaps.
Solution: (Gauss realized that the series 1+2+3+4...+97+98+99+100 could be written as 1+100+2+99+3+98+4+97... or 101 times 50 to get the total 5,050. This trick works for any sum of sequential integers. The general formula is n(n+1)/2, which is the equation for triangular numbers.)
