Great book.
I wish I read this before Thinking, Fast and Slow. Thaler’s writing style is so smooth and easy to read. His simplified explanations of economic theory helped me understand everything so much.
I also loved knowing the back story of how behavioural economics became such an emerging subject.
Bravo!

I do not find economics as interesting as I thought I might.

This was a fascinating look at the rise of behavioural economics. The stories are entertaining and well explained. Having previously read Thinking Fast and Slow and enjoying the psychological side of these ideas, it was particularly interesting to see the consequences of human behaviour on economics.

This is not only enormously insightful, but genuinely a fun piece of writing that also illuminates the world of academic economics in a self-deprecating (though not annoyingly so) fashion.

It was fascinating to understand how the knowledge of "humans" being irrational, is shaping up the modern economic theory. It is easy to see the links between behaviour economics and user centred design and psychology.

Really interesting read if you are interested in psychology or behavioral sciences.
It was a tad tedious sometimes, and the vocabulary was not always on the easy side either, but it opened my eyes to how people can behave so differently with respect to similar things.
