About this listen

 Every day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. The reason, the authors explain, is that, being human, we are all susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder.

Our mistakes make us poorer and less healthy; we often make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself.

Thaler and Sunstein invite us to enter an alternative world, one that takes our humanness as a given. They show that by knowing how people think, we can design choice environments that make it easier for people to choose what is best for themselves, their families, and their society.

Using colorful examples from the most important aspects of life, Thaler and Sunstein demonstrate how thoughtful "choice architecture" can be established to nudge us in beneficial directions without restricting freedom of choice. Nudge offers a unique new take - from neither the left nor the right - on many hot-button issues, for individuals and governments alike. This is one of the most engaging and provocative audiobooks to come along in many years.

Included in this recording are a bonus chapter and a Postscript that was added in the paperback edition.

This book is indeed a great attempt to highlight ideas that are simple but effective enough to bring major changes to behaviour and choices that people make or they be allowed to. Good read.

This is an excellent book, if you are a policy maker, a 'design architect', or live in the US of A. For the rest of us mortals there is very little information in here that is practically applicable and all of it is condensed in the first part of the book.

Overall I would not recommend to the international audience or casual listener. There are much better titles out there:
Try Atomic habits or even Thinking fast and slow.

Conditionally practical advice

This is a long audio book, enough to lose concentration. The theme around the use of nudges and choice architecture is insightful, but it's application is to USA centric problems. This limits its universal appeal.
