Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics by Richard H. Thaler

4.0

A fascinating book about the field of behavioral economics, though it was a little dry at times. I appreciated that Thaler had a good combination of anecdotes and data to prove his points, and described both in a way that didn't require a PhD in economics to understand. While many of the insights from the experiments he ran were interesting, what I found most captivating was the last section of the book, in which Thaler describes "nudging" and shows real world examples about the effects that it had. Overall, a good introduction to behavioral economics for someone (me) who knows very little about the field.
