informative slow-paced

 Every day we make a multitude of decisions that will affect our wealth and well-being, yet we constantly make terrible choices. Economists Thaler and Sunstein discuss how individuals, corporations, and governments can design systems that will nudge people toward better decisions without forcing them.

Although I loved the overarching concept of Nudge, the book was terribly long and extremely boring. I was so bored that I eventually gave up at around 10 hours into the 12-hour audiobook. Unfortunately, Thaler and Sunstein get stuck in the details, droning on and on about the minute details of Medicaid Plan D. While I will never recommend this book to anyone, if you do feel a need to try this overrated bestseller for yourself, be sure to get a physical copy so you can skim sections.
