Nudge (Revised Edition): Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness Free Audiobook Download by Cass R. Sunstein,Richard H. Thaler


Nudge (Revised Edition) is a book that explains why we sometimes make the wrong decisions about our personal and professional lives. The key to making better decisions is using what author Cass Sunstein, Richard Thaler and other behavioral scientists call 'nudges' in one's everyday life. These nudges include useful reminders, small changes in wording, and ways of thinking about problems that can improve decision-making.

This book is a guide to improving your life choices by using the idea of nudging. The author, Cass R. Sunstein, and Richard Thaler introduced the idea in their 2008 book Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness. They provide many examples about how the idea has been used in practice such as reducing littering by flashing car headlights for a few seconds when driving past a trash can or encouraging people to eat healthy food choices near grocery stores instead of at home.

This audiobook is the revised edition of Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness by Cass R. Sunstein and Richard H. Thaler. The book was originally published in 2008 and it discusses how people can influence their own decisions to make better decisions that are beneficial for them. This book is based on behavioral economics which focuses on understanding how decision making can be influenced by various factors such as emotions, individual preferences, tradition, social norms, and environmental influences.

Nudge (Revised Edition): Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness is a book by Cass R. Sunstein Richard H. Thaler that offers advice on how to improve your decision making. The authors provide three principles for decision making: "don't be too hasty," "trust heuristics," and "minimize loss." The first principle is about not rushing decisions and focusing on results over time. "Don't be too hasty" suggests that it may be more beneficial to wait for a better outcome rather than rush into something if you are unsure of it. This is because the effect of rushing can decrease the benefits from something in the long run. The second principle encourages using small amounts of information to help make decisions, like using common sense or relying on your gut feelings. This helps people to make quick decisions without having to process all the information provided by research or experts in how something works or should work. Lastly, the third principle suggests minimizing losses so as to avoid regret later when you may realize you made a poor decision, even if you were doing everything right before hand.

Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness by Cass R. Sunstein Richard H. Thaler is a book that offers advice on how we can be more aware of our responses in the face of life's many decisions. According to the book, people should be given the choice to make decisions based on their current situation or they should be nudged in various ways to make better decisions that are in their best interest. The author's main goal is changing behavior by influencing choices through small changes in incentives or by making it easier for people to act.

Nudge made a popular career for Cass Sunstein and Richard H. Thaler by sharing the concepts of "choice architecture" that encourage people to make better choices. This book has been revised and contains new information about many topics, such as dieting, saving for retirement, and climate change. Cass Sunstein and Richard H. Thaler have also written several other books on choice architecture, including Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness
