The Final Edition

Beschreibung

The completely updated, final edition of the global bestseller - one of the most influential books of the 21st century

'Few books can be said to have changed the world, but Nudge did. The Final Edition is marvellous: funny, useful, and wise' Daniel Kahneman

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.

Rezensionen

Nominated for Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Adam Grant, and Daniel H. Pink s Next Big Idea Club

A cultural phenomenon [that] finally brought behavioral economics into the mainstream . . . This version of the book is chock-full of new ideas. . . . Since the pandemic began, governments and companies around the world have had to think creatively about how to nudge people to wear masks, socially distance, and get vaccinated. And we ve seen a lot of creative campaigns that adopt strategies outlined in Nudge. NPR s Planet Money

Few books can be said to have changed the world, but Nudge did. The Final Edition is marvelous: funny, useful, and wise. Daniel Kahneman, #1 New York Times

bestselling author of Thinking, Fast and Slow

Nudge should be required reading for anyone who aspires to run a country, lead a company, raise a child, or make a choice. It s the gold standard for using behavioral science to guide decisions and policies, and the new edition is even better than the original. Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife

Nudge has changed the way we think about both business s and society s biggest problems. The Final Edition is full of new insights and well worth reading. Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google

We used the core principles of Nudge when designing our protocols for resuming play during the pandemic. This new edition provides a refreshed set of practical concepts and strategies to influence decision-making for good. Adam Silver, NBA commissioner

If you ve read Nudge and think you fully grasp the concept and its uses, you are mistaken. The new edition significantly deepened my understanding of what nudges are and how they can be employed. It truly is a must-read. Robert Cialdini, New York Times bestselling author of Influence

Revolutionary. Once you ve read it, you start seeing the evidence everywhere. Evidence that economic orthodoxy is woefully out of date, that as humans we re not always rational, and that in every bit of architecture, design, and economic choice, we are ALWAYS being nudged in some way. Once we see and accept that, we can ask how we can make better choices. This book points us in the direction. It changes the way you see the world this edition even more so. David Byrne, musician

In the spirit of Donald Norman s The Design of Everyday Things . . . Thaler and Sunstein deliver a spirited argument to enable well-informed people to overcome various biases and probabilistic harms to do what is best for them and, in the present case, their fellow American Humans. . . . Students of design, politics, economics, and many other fields will delight in these provocative discussions. Kirkus Reviews

Acclaim for the original edition of Nudge

Nudge has changed the world. You may not realise it, but as a result of its findings you re likely to live longer, retire richer and maybe even save other people s lives. The Times (London)

Probably the most influential popular science book ever written. BBC Radio 4

One of the few books . . . that fundamentally changed the way I think about the world. Steven D. 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 . . . Nudge won t nudge you it will knock you off your feet. Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness

Nudge is 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

Engaging, informative, and thoroughly delightful. Don Norman, author of The Design of Everyday Things and The Design of Future Things

A wonderful book: more fun than any important book has a right to be and yet it is truly both. Roger Lowenstein, author of When Genius Failed

Save the planet, save yourself. Do-gooders, policymakers, this one s for you. Newsweek

Great fun to read . . . 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 . . . An entertaining book that also deeply informs. Barron s

Entertaining, engaging, and well written . . . Highly recommended. Choice

This Poor Richard s Almanack for the 21st century . . . shares both the sagacity and the witty and accessible style of its 18th-century predecessor. Law and Politics Book Review

There are superb insights in Nudge. Financial Times
