Book : Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness

  I randomly picked it from the reading list though it's not my type. After reading for a while, I've observed some interesting parts in the book. Especially the following sentence, "Libertarian paternalism is a relatively weak, soft, and nonintrusive type of paternalism because choices are not blocked, fenced off, or significantly burdened." It's such a new term for me and also a new kind of notion.  Moreover, "A nudge, as we will use the term, is any aspect of the choice architecture that alters people’s behavior in a predictable way without forbidding any options or significantly changing their economic incentives." I've determined that how important this word effect people's life. Specifically, if one person could nudge her/himself, it would critically motivate one's economic incentives and performance.

  Even though I haven't finished the whole book, I am looking forward to the next chapter and see what author is going to share with us readers.
