"This is a fantastic book that will be required reading for the
growing number of people around the world who want to nudge for
good!", Owain Service, UK Behavioural Insights Team"Nudges can save
lives, but only if people let them. Drawing on surveys from around
the world, Sunstein and Reisch find surprising regularities in the
policies people support, regularities that generalize across
nations and nudges. This book is essential reading for prudent
policymakers.", Barbara Ann Mellers, I. George Heyman University
Professor, Wharton University of Pennsylvania, USA"The results of
carefully collected survey data from several countries inform the
design of a convincing "bill of rights" for nudges by government, a
list of rights that is also consistent with broadly accepted
normative principles. The book is thus an important guide for
research and practice going forward.", Jonathan Baron, Professor of
Psychology, School of Arts and Sciences, University of
Pennsylvania, USA
"A short, thoughtful, measured and important analysis of what
citizens actually think about nudging and why that matters." Julian
Baggini, Financial Times"Trusting Nudges is a timely contribution
to prudent policymaking...For those who have followed nudge
hypothesis, this book is a welcome addition to the growing
literature on a subject that captures central concerns in
legitimising the role of nudges in civic life." Sudhirendar Sharma,
The Hindu Business Line"This is a fantastic book that will be
required reading for the growing number of people around the world
who want to nudge for good!", Owain Service, UK Behavioural
Insights Team"Trusting Nudges is an important contribution to the
literature of behaviourally informed policy...The comparison
between countries is particularly necessary to establish a common
base for nudges. Trusting Nudges has collected a small arsenal of
evidence for this purpose that may inspire further research about
how and why people will accept behaviourally informed policies.",
