I found this really interesting. I've never seen an interview in this style before, and I don't know if it's a haaretz thing or just this reporter, but I liked it. Most interviews I read feel very polished and on-message; more like a spoken article than a conversation. This was very raw, and didn't cover much of his work or have much structure to it. It was more like an old friend coming by to catch up, and happening to bring a tape recorder. I feel like I learned a lot more about Dan Ariely as a person than I would have from a more manicured interview. I knew he'd been burned in an accident, but I didn't know how badly it affected him. I assumed he was busy, but it made me empathise with that sense of wanting to do so much and never having the time. If nothing else, it's nice to see through the bio on the cover of his book to something a bit more human.
