One of The Strategist’ s “13 Best Personal Finance Books,
According to Money Experts”
“One of the few books . . . that fundamentally changed the way I
think about the world.” —Steven D. Levitt, coauthor of
Freakonomics
“Engaging and insightful . . . The conceptual argument is
powerful, and most of the authors’ suggestions are common sense at
its best. . . . For that we should all applaud loudly.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“An essential read . . . The book isn’t only humorous, it’s loaded
with good ideas that financial-service executives, policy makers,
Wall Street mavens, and all savers can use.” —The Boston Globe
“This book is terrific. It will change the way you think, not only
about the world around you and some of its bigger problems, but
also about yourself.” —Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball
and Liar’s Poker
“This gem of a book . . . is a must-read for anyone who wants to
see both our minds and our society working better. It will improve
your decisions and it will make the world a better place.” —Daniel
Kahneman, Nobel Prize–winning author of Thinking, Fast and Slow
“Utterly brilliant . . . Nudge won’t nudge you—it will
knock you off your feet.” —Daniel Gilbert, author
of Stumbling on Happiness
“Nudge is as important a book as any I’ve read in perhaps
twenty years. It is a book that people interested in any aspect of
public policy should read. It is a book that people interested in
politics should read. It is a book that people interested in ideas
about human freedom should read. It is a book that people
interested in promoting human welfare should read. If you’re not
interested in any of these topics, you can read something
else.” —Barry Schwartz, The American Prospect
“Engaging, informative, and thoroughly delightful.” —Don Norman,
author of The Design of Everyday Things and The Design of Future
Things
“A wonderful book: more fun than any important book has a right to
be—and yet it is truly both.” —Roger Lowenstein, author of When
Genius Failed
“Save the planet, save yourself. Do-gooders, policymakers, this
one’s for you.” —Newsweek
“Great fun to read . . . Sunstein and Thaler are very persuasive.”
—Slate
“Nudge helps us understand our weaknesses, and suggests savvy
ways to counter them.” —The New York Observer
“Always stimulating . . . An entertaining book that also deeply
informs.” —Barron’s
“Entertaining, engaging, and well written . . . Highly
recommended.” —Choice
“This Poor Richard’s Almanack for the 21st century . . .
shares both the sagacity and the witty and accessible style of its
18th-century predecessor.” —Law and Politics Book Review
“There are superb insights in Nudge.” —Financial Times
