Schulz, Kathryn Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Portobello, 2011.
Description viii, 405pWhite Spine
Summary/Abstract Kathryn Schulz explores why we find it so gratifying to be right and so maddening to be mistaken, and how this attitude toward error corrodes relationships. She claims that "error is both a given and a gift" - one that can transform our worldviews, our relationships, and, most profoundly, ourselves. The experience of being wrong helps us to become better people.

Nudge: Improving decisions about health, wealth and happiness / Thaler, Richard H.; Sunstein, Cass R. 2009  Book
Thaler, Richard H. Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Penguin Books, 2009.
Description x, 310pRed Spine
Summary/Abstract We often make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself. Thaler and Sunstein show that by knowing how people think, we can design choice environments that make it easier for people to choose what is best for themselves, their families, and their society. They demonstrate how thoughtful "choice architecture" can be established to nudge us in beneficial directions without restricting freedom of choice. Nudge offers a unique new take - from neither the left nor the right - on many hot-button issues, for individuals and governments alike
