Nudge

Definitely a strong 3.5 opposed to a straight 3. I found the concept of ‘nudges', the act of architecturally manipulating options in favour of positive behavioural change (both at the personal and community based level) to be quite fascinating. The term used to define people who make these institutions and options, ‘choice architects', is something I'd like to do more reading on as it's a skill most folks could harness from a capability point of view, and introduce into their line of work and study. At times I thought there was a glaze of unnecessary academic vernacular throughout the book, which distances readers who aren't firmly established in the authors' respective field of study. This caused the flow to be quite disrupted. Beyond that though, it was a fantastic read!

Excellent book. The ideas and concepts presented are very interesting, useful and fact supported. Even if I don't agree with some of the conclusions, particularly the ones regarding social and political issues (I know, most of the book), I think it is a great starting point.

Mal razočaran, ker sem praktično vse ideje že prebral v povzetkih, recenzijah, blogih... Vsekakor koristne ideje, ampak mogoče še vedno premalo primerov.
