He also helps a fire fighter's charity collect more money, a family business sell more beef jerky and a building cut their energy bills by turning the lobby into a games area.

Other people can be so annoying but behavior change expert Daniel Pink has plans to turn us into model citizens without us even realizing it.

Selfishness

Behavior change expert Daniel Pink takes on a very modern problem - people walking and texting on their smart phones when they should be paying attention to where they're going. When many of them don't even notice a cappuccino drinking gorilla it's time for some drastic action in the form of a no cell phone pedestrian lane. And when a historic monument is being damaged by thousands of feet, he's got a way to tackle that too.

Time Flies

Behavior change expert Daniel Pink experiments with a new kind of diet - one that the dieter doesn't even know they are on.

Food for Thought

We all know we should recycle as much as possible, drive the speed limit and not abandon our grocery carts in the parking lot, but we still do it anyway. Behavior change expert Daniel Pink makes doing the right thing fun by building a singing road that plays America the Beautiful if you drive at the speed limit, tricking out shopping carts that plead to be returned and recruits a flash mob to reward people who recycle their trash.

Do the Right Thing

For six months, behavior change expert Daniel Pink has traveled America carrying out more than 40 experiments on unsuspecting members of the public to see if he can make us behave better. In front of an audience, including many of the people featured in his stunts, he reveals the tricks of his trade.
