Overview

<b><b>Now available: <i>Nudge: The Final Edition</i><br><br>The original edition of the multimillion-copy <i>New York Times </i>bestseller by the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, Richard H. Thaler, and Cass R. Sunstein: a revelatory look at how we make decisions—for fans of Malcolm Gladwell’s <i>Blink, </i>Charles Duhigg<b>’</b>s <i>The Power of Habit, </i>James Clear<b>’</b>s<i> Atomic Habits, </i>and <b><b>Daniel Kahneman<b>’</b>s <i>Thinking, Fast and Slow</i></b></b><br></b><br><b><b>Named a Best Book of the Year by <i>The</i> </b><i>Economist </i>and the</b> <b><i>Financial Times<br></i></b></b><br>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. <i>Nudge </i>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.
