Available from:Book Synopsis:- An essential new edition―revised and updated from cover to cover―of one of the most important books of the last two decades, by Nobel Prize winner Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein
- More than 2 million copies sold
- New York Times bestseller
- Since the original publication of Nudge more than a decade ago, the title has entered the vocabulary of businesspeople, policy makers, engaged citizens, and consumers everywhere. The book has given rise to more than 400 "nudge units" in governments around the world and countless groups of behavioral scientists in every part of the economy. It has taught us how to use thoughtful "choice architecture"—a concept the authors invented—to help us make better decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society.
- Now, the authors have rewritten the book from cover to cover, making use of their experiences in and out of government over the past dozen years as well as an explosion of new research in numerous academic disciplines. To commit themselves to never undertaking this daunting task again, they are calling this the "final edition." It offers a wealth of new insights, for both its avowed fans and newcomers to the field, about a wide variety of issues that we face in our daily lives—COVID-19, health, personal finance, retirement savings, credit card debt, home mortgages, medical care, organ donation, climate change, and "sludge" (paperwork and other nuisances we don't want, and that keep us from getting what we do want)—all while honoring one of the cardinal rules of nudging: make it fun!

The organ donation scenario you mentioned has crossed my mind, and I don't have a good case against your point there. I have thought about would they be quick to make a decision to end a life based on the donation option, but it's purely skeptical.
In regards to education, another example, and this is personal and may not apply to others - but I'm a huge fan of putting nutrition facts on menu items - and I have used that information countless times when ordering food to make better decisions.

The thought that someone might not be able to pay their rent because a company auto-enrolled a new employee in 401k contributions by default is crazy.
And someone becoming an organ donor by default?! Imagine someone just learns about the death of a loved one, and then standing by while their organs are harvested because they didn't understand they needed to untick a box. That's some dark stuff. That's called tricking someone. Someone tricked them into allowing them to harvest their organs.
Educate new employees on the benefits of a 401k.
Educate new drivers on organ donation and how someone's tragic event may help them, or yours may help someone else.
Educate and then let people choose what is right for them. Stop treating people like cattle and let people live life without rails.

He's taking each of your examples to the worst case scenario. This could work in the other direction. Employees lose the employer match by not enrolling in their 401k. My employer auto enrolls so new employees are eligible for the match. You have 90 days to stop contributions and receive a refund.
Anyways I wasn't aware there was a definition for this concept. Substituting water for soda at hospitals and schools is another example I can think of.
Thanks for the summary. Definitely going to buy it.
And I'm certain the authors would love the discussion on this thread so far 😂😂😂
