Di awal, penulisnya langsung bikin deklarasi tentang paternalisme libertarian yang intinya bilang mereka adalah libertarian yang setuju akan pengarahan atau dorongan (nudges) pilihan melalui sektor swasta atau pemerintahan. Tiap orang tetap bebas memilih, tapi pilihannya diatur seedemikian rupa agar mereka bisa mendapat yang terbaik. Entah itu dari insentif atau feedback. Penerapannya dilakukan di sektor investasi, kesehatan, dll.
Bagian awal bukunya lumayan oke. Ngejelasin tentang kesalahan berpikir sampai perlunya nudges. Pas masuk ke contoh agak ngang ngong karena pakenya contoh amerika eropa.

Digital audiobook read by Lloyd James.
Subtitle: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness
Thaler and Sunstein are professors specializing in Behavioral Economics. This work explores the ways in which decision options are presented to achieve the result the designer hopes for … i.e. the nudges.
I found much of this very interesting and kept thinking of incidents in recent years that pointed out how such nudges were beneficial. Certainly, my parents nudged my saving habits, even though they never studied economics. But not all nudges are beneficial. The book also made me aware of the nudges that I need to be mindful of. (Extended warranties? Uh, no.)
I had to laugh when reading the updated section at the end, and they reported that the single example that got the most attention was the fly in the urinals at Schiphol airport! I’ve been thinking hard about how I might replicate their results to nudge my husband to put the dirty dishes IN the dishwasher vs just on the counter right above the dishwasher.
The digital audiobook I listened to most was read by Lloyd James. He does a fine job, but much of the material is rather dry, and of course, the listener misses the graphs and illustrations. My local library’s CD version was narrated by Sean Pratt. A fellow book club member listened to a version narrated by Richard Thaler.

Interesting enough, but not huge take aways that specifically opened my eyes to anything shockingly new.

I listened to this via audio book and thought it was fascinating and thought-inspiring, but apparently I didn’t think enough so to review it at the time.
But I loved it and would definitely recommend.
