"Fundamentally changes the way I think about the world. . . . Academics aren't supposed to be able to write this well." -Steven Levitt, co-author of Freakonomics "[An] utterly brilliant book. . . . Nudgewon't nudge you-it will knock you off your feet." -Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness "Nudgeis as important a book as any I've read in perhaps twenty years. It is a book that people interested in any aspect of public policy should read. It is a book that people interested in politics should read. It is a book that people interested in ideas about human freedom should read. It is a book that people interested in promoting human welfare should read. If you're not interested in any of these topics, you can read something else." -Barry Schwartz, The American Prospect "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." -Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball, "Fundamentally changes the way I think about the world. . . .

Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics "Engaging and insightful . . . The conceptual argument is powerful, and most of the authors' suggestions are common sense at its best. . . . For that we should all applaud loudly." -- The New York Times Book Review "An essential read . . . The book isn't only humorous, it's loaded with good ideas that financial-service executives, policy makers, Wall Street mavens, and all savers can use." -- The Boston Globe "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." -- Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball and Liar's Poker "This gem of a book . . . is 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." -- Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize-winning author of Thinking, Fast and Slow "Utterly brilliant . . .

Sunstein and Thaler are very persuasive." -- Slate " Nudge helps us understand our weaknesses, and suggests savvy ways to counter them." -- The New York Observer "Always stimulating . . .

Synopsis
Now available: Nudge: The Final Edition The original edition of the multimillion-copy New York Times 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 Blink, Charles Duhigg ' s The Power of Habit, James Clear ' s Atomic Habits, and Daniel Kahneman ' s Thinking, Fast and Slow 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., From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, Richard H.

- v***v (2061)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
