TEDxJaffa - Dr. Haim Shapira - Games People Play

In his TEDxJaffa talk, Dr. Haim Shapira talks about how to use 'game theory' to understand the motivations of others.
Haim was born in Russia in 1962 and immigrated to Israel in 1977, where he earned a PhD in mathematical genetics for his dissertation on Games Theory and another PhD for his research about the mathematical and philosophical approaches to Infinity. He teaches mathematics, psychology, philosophy, and literature, and gives very popular lectures on Eastern and Western philosophies, happiness and optimism, the meaning of dreams, nonsense and insanity as well as friendship and love, appearing in Israel's leading venues. His books "Conversations on Game Theory" and "Things That Really Matter" were both huge successes, quickly reaching the top spot on Israel's best-selling non-fiction charts. He is also an accomplished Pianist.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
