Overview of Nudge

Discover how small "nudges" reshape decisions in this Nobel Prize-winning phenomenon that sold 2 million copies. When a painted fly in a urinal reduced spillage by 80%, Thaler proved we're all predictably irrational - and governments worldwide are taking notes.

Why Your Choices Aren't Really Yours

Here's something unsettling: right now, someone is deciding what you'll eat for lunch tomorrow-and you don't even know it. The cafeteria director arranging food displays, the app designer ordering restaurant options, even the supermarket manager positioning products at eye level-they're all shaping your decisions in ways you barely notice. When Amsterdam airport etched tiny fly images into urinals, "spillage" dropped 80%. No rules, no fines, just a subtle target that redirected aim. This is the hidden architecture of choice, and it's everywhere. Whether arranging retirement plans or designing websites, someone is always influencing your decisions. The question isn't whether you'll be nudged-it's whether those nudges will help or exploit you. This realization sparked a global movement, with over 200 organizations across 37 countries creating "nudge units" to redesign how choices are presented. The insight is both liberating and unsettling: small changes in how options appear can dramatically alter what we choose, yet we remain free to pick differently. Traditional economics imagines we're all perfectly rational "Econs"-calculating every decision with computer-like precision. Reality tells a different story. Over 40% of American adults are obese, with rates tripling globally since 1980. It's absurd to suggest everyone consciously chose their optimal weight. We're not Econs; we're Humans.
