Samenvatting

Coming soon: Nudge: The Final Edition From Cass R. Sunstein and Richard H. Thaler, winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Economics, Nudge is the book that changed the way we think about decision-making. Nudge is about choices - how we make them and how we can make better ones. Every day we make decisions: about the things that we buy or the meals we eat; about the investments we make or our children's health and education; even the causes that we champion or the planet itself. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. We are all susceptible to biases that can lead us to make bad decisions. And, as Thaler and Sunstein show, no choice is ever presented to us in a neutral way. By knowing how people think, we can make it easier for them to choose what is best for them, their families and society. Using dozens of eye-opening examples and original research, the authors demonstrate how to nudge us in the right directions, without restricting our freedom of choice. 'How often do you read a book that is both important and amusing, both practical and deep? ... A must-read for anyonewho wants to see both our minds and our society working better' Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow 'I love this book. It is one of the few books I've read recently that fundamentally changes the way I think about the world' Steven D. Levitt, co-author of Freakonomics

  • Interesting, based on real life examples and it really makes you think

    A great blend of psychological and economical decision making based on real life examples, mostly from the US. The authors write with a kind of wit that makes it easy to read and keeps you interested, even if the matter gets a bit more complex. Examples of things they write about are; "How can a country make sure there are enough organ donors for the needy?" and "pension, how to simplify that maze of too complex info and get people to get the right pension for them". The points of view they share with you make you think about a problem and even though I didn't always agree with them, I did enjoy it.

    Even though I am not an American citizen I found this book interesting (there are alot of examples from the US and maybe it could also be a bit of a learning experience for those of us who don't know that much about the US and theyre systems) and would recommend it.

  • vermakelijk

    Positieve punten

    • Toegankelijk

    Als je eenmaal de bachelor Psychologie hebt afgerond zul je weinig nieuws leren uit dit boekje, verder wel vermakelijk. De schrijvers hebben typische Amerikaanse zelfspot. Het idee is natuurlijk wel heel leuk, en je wordt je meer bewust hoe de omgeving je keuzes en gedrag beïnvloed (Bewust of onbewust).
