From Cass R. Sunstein and Richard H. Thaler, winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Economics, Nudge is the book that changed the way we think about decision-making.
Nudge is about choices - how we make them and how we can make better ones. Every day we make decisions: about the things that we buy or the meals we eat; about the investments we make or our children's health and education; even the causes that we champion or the planet itself. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. We are all susceptible to biases that can lead us to make bad decisions. And, as Thaler and Sunstein show, no choice is ever presented to us in a neutral way. By knowing how people think, we can make it easier for them to choose what is best for them, their families and society. Using dozens of eye-opening examples and original research, the authors demonstrate how to nudge us in the right directions, without restricting our freedom of choice.
'How often do you read a book that is both important and amusing, both practical and deep? ... A must-read for anyonewho wants to see both our minds and our society working better' Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow
'I love this book. It is one of the few books I've read recently that fundamentally changes the way I think about the world' Steven D. Levitt, co-author of Freakonomics

Hot stuff. . . an idea whose time seems to have come
Probably the most influential popular science book ever written
Nudge has changed the world. You may not realise it, but as a result of its findings you're likely to live longer, retire richer and maybe even save other people's lives
Hugely influential. . . choice architects are everywhere
All the rage. . . the issue is not "to nudge or not to nudge", it is how to nudge well
I love this book. It is one of the few books I've read recently that fundamentally changes the way I think about the world
This book is terrific. It will change the way you think, not only about the world around you and some of its bigger problems, but also about yourself
A must-read for anyone who wants to see both our minds and our society working better. It will improve your decisions and it will make the world a better place
Nudge is as important a book as any I've read in perhaps 20 years
A manifesto for using the recent behavioral research to help people, as well as government agencies, companies and charities, make better decisions
