From the winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Economics, Richard H. Thaler, and Cass R. Sunstein: a revelatory look at how we make decisions

New York Times bestseller
Named a Best Book of the Year by The Economist and the Financial Times

Every day we make choices—about what to buy or eat, about financial investments or our children’s health and education, even about the causes we champion or the planet itself. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. Nudge is about how we make these choices and how we can make better ones. Using dozens of eye-opening examples and drawing on decades of behavioral science research, Nobel Prize winner Richard H. Thaler and Harvard Law School professor Cass R. Sunstein show that no choice is ever presented to us in a neutral way, and that we are all susceptible to biases that can lead us to make bad decisions. But by knowing how people think, we can use sensible “choice architecture” to nudge people toward the best decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society, without restricting our freedom of choice.

In product development, defaults matter. Thaler’s is the best book on why that is, and how to steer your users in the right direction.

By now, it shouldn’t surprise you to learn that humans are inherently bad at making decisions. And only through understanding and being aware of our biases can we ever hope to get better at it. This is a well written and easy to read book, written by Richard Thaler (who happens to be a Nobel Prize winner.) If you want to improve your own decision making, and also learn how to “nudge” those you care about towards making better choices as well, grab this book.
