Notably one of the most influential pop science books of the last decade and a half, which can be both a compliment and a detraction. While its "libertarian paternalistic" thesis is well intended and widely appliable, I can't help but feel it's taken as a paliative rather than a definitive solution to the several issues risen. Besides, its painfully UScentric point of view can get tiresome very quickly. Nonetheless, as the authors have insisted throghout the book, every little bit helps.

Very well-written and entertaining for a social science/policy book. The authors break down what goes into human decision-making, and outline how public policies could "nudge" people toward better outcomes without taking away any freedom of choice. I definitely think about things differently now, which is one measure of whether a book was worth my time.
Good concepts and well updated for the current environment. I thought the narration of the audiobook was pretty bad at times.
The chapter titles are more interesting than the information in the book. If you’re still curious, this book can be skimmed.
An excellent read that shows the power of small behavioral changes that can lead to long-term benefits. The authors touch almost every topic, from politics and stocks to mental health and energy consumption.
The first half of the book captivated since they were topics that I wanted to learn more about. The book picks up again in the last two chapters and ends well with other user-suggestion nudges.
I am definitely going to refer to this book again and again in the future.
Highly recommended for anyone who is even remotely intrigued about the concept of behavioral economics.

Was this book written by two white men? Yes. Yes, it was.
Very interesting and well written but the authors' devotion to capitalism definitely biased their analyses. They clearly have a myopic understanding of education, healthcare, housing, etc.
The first few chapters are golden. The rest of the book is for those who cannot apply the first chapters on their own.
