Nudge, Richard Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein

The book explores how simple ”nudges” can be used to influence people’s decisions and improve their overall well-being in areas like health, wealth, and happiness.

The book highlights various examples of nudges in action, including design changes in workplace pension plans, reminders to get vaccinated, and the use of ”choice architecture” to encourage healthy eating.
