Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness

by Richard H. Thaler, Cass R. Sunstein (2008)

About this book

Every day we make choices—about what to buy or eat, about financial investments, our health, and our children’s education. Unfortunately, we often make poor choices. Thaler and Sunstein show that by understanding how people think, we can design choice environments that make it easier for people to choose what is best for themselves.
