Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness
by Richard H. Thaler, Cass R. Sunstein
I loved this book, which is all about "choice architecture," the idea that the way we structure choices for people can have a surprisingly large impact on the decisions they make. Thaler and Sunstein convincingly argue that this is the case, that there is no truly neutral way to present choices, and that policymakers should structure choices in a way that encourages better outcomes. They advocate for "libertarian paternalism," or encouraging people to make decisions in their own best interest while allowing them to easily opt out of that decision if they so choose.
Thaler and Sunstein fill this book with fascinating examples of choices we all have to make and ways that they could be restructured to optimize outcomes. I would highly recommend this book to anyone in a leadership, management, or policy-making position.
