Daniel Gilbert was born on November 5, 1957. Surprisingly, he didn’t aspire to be a Psychologist.

Joel himself states at the end of paragraph 14 that he went along with the things which the old man had said because he wanted something to believe in, although it contradicted the facts and understanding he had.
