About Jake Teeny

Jake has been enthralled with psychology and human behavior since the sixth grade, when his first middle school science fair project, titled “Why My Neighbors are So Weird,” was banned from the competition. However, Mr. Beseau took him aside and explained that his deeper interest was in a topic called “psychology.”

With every birthday list thereafter, he requested books about human psychology; and 20 years later, he received a Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the Ohio State University and now serves as a Professor of Marketing at the Kellogg School of Business at Northwestern University.
