Chicago Booth Lecture in Sept (SH, TW, HK)

The University of Chicago Booth School of Business Global Leadership Series presents:

"Nudge": Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness

Speaker: Richard H. Thaler, Ralph and Dorothy Keller Distinguished Service Professor of Behavioral Science and Economics, Chicago Booth

Professor Richard Thaler will discuss his book, Nudge, co-authored
with Cass Sunstein. Professor Thaler will share their cutting-edge
research about human fallibility, and outline a new world that
recognizes human nature for what it is, while also making wise choices
easier and more likely.

Reviews:

"Nudge...is the title of an absorbing forthcoming book by the legal
scholar Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler, an economist.  It's about how
we influence the decisions people make by the way we design the context
in they make them." - Oliver Burkeman, The Guardian, 3 May 2008.

"In this utterly brilliant book, Thaler and Sunstein teach us how to
steer people toward better health, sounder investments, and cleaner
environments without depriving them of their inalienable right to make
a mess of the things if they want to.  Nudge won't nudge you.  It will
knock you off your feet."  - Daniel Gilbert, Professor of Psychology,
Harvard University and author of Stumbling on Happiness.
