Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness by Richard H. Thaler
Erik's review
rating:
A very interesting book about how to get people to make better decisions, while preserving their freedom to make bad ones.
The book touts a philosophy of "Libertarian Paternalism". Which may sound VERY alarming, but makes sense as you read the book. From helping school children choose the healthiest food to helping people save for retirement the book goes through many different examples of how a "choice architect" could help people make better choices.
