Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness
In a world where our choices are never as free as they seem, Nudge reveals the hidden levers that shape how we decide—from what we eat to how we save, vote, or plan our futures. Through the lens of behavioral science, it explores how small, well-placed cues—nudges—can guide us toward wiser, healthier, and more ethical outcomes without taking away our agency. But can gentle guidance coexist with true freedom, or does every choice architecture carry the fingerprints of power? With clarity and warmth, this book challenges us to see decision-making not as a cold calculation, but as a deeply human dance between impulse, intention, and design. It is a quiet manifesto for a smarter society—one choice at a time.

Same as Ever: Timeless Lessons on Risk, Opportunity, and Living a Good Life
In a world obsessed with what changes, Same as Ever turns its gaze toward what doesn’t—the timeless truths of human behavior that shape markets, money, and decision-making across generations. With quiet force and lucid insight, it reveals how fear, greed, hope, and uncertainty echo through every boom and bust, every fortune made and lost. What if the best way to predict the future is not to chase what’s new, but to understand what never changes? This book invites readers to step back from the noise and peer into the deep patterns that govern our choices—unchanging, profound, and always present.

Hot Pick
Thinking Fast and Slow
Your mind is a battleground between two selves: one impulsive and instinctual, the other deliberate and slow. Thinking, Fast and Slow pulls back the curtain on the quiet tug-of-war behind every choice we make—from trivial daily decisions to life-altering judgments—revealing just how often we are strangers to our own reasoning. What if your confidence is an illusion, your logic a mirage, and your certainty the mask of a hidden bias? With surgical clarity and unsettling insight, this book challenges not just how you think, but who you believe yourself to be.
