The Center for Applied Rationality is a nonprofit founded to give people more understanding and control of their own decision-making. We examine cognitive science research to determine mental skills and habits that make people more effective; then we beta test methods for training each new skill or habit in a one-hour session. Finally, we collect the most effective one-hour sessions into immersive workshops.

Want to learn more about our workshops or research? Don’t be shy! Some of our staff are available for video chat or phone appointments. You can book us using our appointment apps below, and we’ll contact you at a time of your choosing. Rationality is just too important to put off talking about it!

How do these booking apps work?

Option 1 has you first choose who to talk to, so you’re only shown times when that particular staff member is available. Option 2 shows you all the available times for a given service, so you can choose the time that’s best for you, and then lets you choose among the staff members available at that time.
