A review by pcoulter
Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness by Richard H. Thaler, Cass R. Sunstein
3.0
The general idea is neat, and there are a lot of good solid examples of how to put "nudges" into practice. Once the idea is explained, it really comes across as common sense and the ins and outs of design choices (for products, services, society) are interesting.
I had a couple of small issues with it. Firstly, although the book isn't long, I found the detailed examples really hammered the idea home more than I needed. I personally probably could have settled for a long magazine article on their ideas. Secondly, I'm not a libertarian and I found the scope of what they're trying to do to be rather limited. I know that's the point of libertarianism, but it's just not for me.
