#CONVERSATIONS WITH TYLER HOW TO#
Naturally then, Kevin and Tyler start this conversation on advice: what kinds of advice Kevin was afraid to give, his worst advice, how to get better at following advice, and whether people who ask for advice really want it in the first place. But his latest work, Excellent Advice for Living takes a different approach, drawing on his own experience and wisdom to offer practical tips and advice for navigating life's challenges. Here is the transcript and audio.As the founding executive editor of Wired magazine and the author of several acclaimed books on technology and culture, Kevin Kelly has long been known for his visionary ideas and insights. They’ll ask it of the refrigerator, but they will not ask it of the surgeon, nor will they ask it of the referring doctor. Yet, before you do surgery, people rarely look up, how good is that surgeon? What’s that surgeon’s record? What questions should I ask of that surgeon? For example, before you’d buy a TV, you’d look up and see what are the different characteristics and so on. They’re also very afraid of the quality part, of having that quality discussion. People really don’t like the money being involved in the medical care part. They really don’t like to go to their doctor and say, “Doctor, how do I trade off the money here versus the medicine?”Īs a result, they wind up not taking the medicine, and then they avoid the doctor because they’re ashamed to admit to the doctor. What we would hope they would do is go to their doctor and say, “Doctor, is there any way that there could be a cheaper medicine that might work because $30 is hard for me this month?” In practice, people are extremely uncomfortable doing that. If you go to the doctor, and the doctor says you should take medication X, and you go to the pharmacy, and the pharmacy says that’ll be $30, a fair number of people will walk away and say, “I don’t have $30.” It goes back a little bit to some of the behavioral issues that we were talking about, but I think it’s slightly different. Below is an excerpt:ĬUTLER: Everything that we know in healthcare is that people have difficulty choosing on the basis of price and quality. Tyler Cowen has an interesting interview with Harvard health economist David Cutler speaking about (what else?) health economics.
