Nudge has transformed the way individuals, companies and governments look at the world - and in the process has become one of the most important books of the twenty-first century. This completely updated edition offers a wealth of new insights for fans and newcomers alike - about COVID-19, diet, personal finance, retirement savings, medical care, organ donation, and climate change. Every day we make decisions: about the things we buy or the meals we eat; about the investments we make and the time we spend; about our health and that of the planet. Unfortunately, we often choose badly. We are all susceptible to biases that can lead us to make bad decisions that make us poorer, less healthy and less happy. And, as Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein show, no choice is ever presented to us in a neutral way. But by knowing how people think, we can make it easier for them to choose what is best for themselves, for their families and for society. With brilliant insight and wonderful levity, Thaler and Sunstein demonstrate how best to nudge us in the right directions, without ever restricting our freedom of choice.

I am an economist by training. In the spirit of supporting the art I purchased all 3 of Richard Thaler's books. These are easy to read BUT you will need to skip the citations,to keep your interest, which a True research economist is genetically required to provide. You will learn why you should stay away from auctions and other human characteristics. I have often thought that to predict the stock market you had to be able to correctly read humans. One hope for the future of predicting human responses and reactions is: Super artificial Intelligence. If more economic classes taught Mr. Thaler's branch of economics more students would be excited about economics. Learning about economics, i.e. human nature, is as important as learning to balance a check book.
