Ruis
Waarom we zo vaak verkeerde beslissingen nemen, en hoe we dat kunnen voorkomen'Een monumentaal en boeiend boek.' The TimesOveral waar mensen beslissingen nemen, is sprake van ruis: verschil in oordelen die identiek zouden moeten zijn. Artsen stellen verschillende diagnoses bij dezelfde patiënt, rechters geven verschillende straffen voor hetzelfde delict, twee collega's beoordelen vergelijkbare sollicitanten verschillend. Iemand neemt 's ochtends andere beslissingen dan 's middags. Zulke voorbeelden van ruis zijn overal te vinden, maar mensen en organisaties zijn zich gewoonlijk niet bewust van de rol van ruis bij hun beoordelingen en hun handelen.Met een aanstekelijk enthousiasme bespreken Nobelprijswinnaar Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony en Cass Sunstein op basis van de nieuwste bevindingen in de psychologie en gedragseconomie hoe en waarom wij zo vatbaar zijn voor ruis bij het nemen van beslissingen, en wat we eraan kunnen doen.Een baanbrekend boek dat onze denkwijze zal veranderen, van de experts in strategisch denken en auteurs van de megabestsellers Thinking, Fast and Slow (Ons feilbare denken) en Nudge'Een hoogstandje van wetenschap en helderheid.' The New York Times'Een goed onderzocht, overtuigend en praktisch boek (...) geschreven door een sterrenteam. Iedere wetenschapper, beleidsmaker, leidinggevende en consultant zou dit boek moeten lezen. Wie de invloed en het doorzettingsvermogen heeft die nodig zijn om de inzichten uit RUIS toe te passen, zal beslissingen nemen die menselijker en eerlijker zijn, levens redden, en voorkomen dat tijd, geld en talent verspild worden.' The Washington Post'Ruis is een briljant onderzoek naar een ongelooflijk groot maatschappelijk probleem waar iedereen tot nu toe overheen keek.' Steven Levitt, auteur van Freakonomics'Overtuigend. Een nederig stemmende les over onnauwkeurigheid.' Financial Times

Manipulation
What It Is, Why It's Bad, What to Do About It'We are all familiar with manipulation, in politics, commerce, even our everyday lives. Yet it is hard to say either what manipulation is or what should be done about it. Cass Sunstein has given us a book that is both deep and wide-ranging, written with verve and charm. It is the best book yet on the ethical, legal, and policy aspects of manipulation.' T. M. Wilkinson, University of Auckland

Animals Matter
From The New York Times bestselling author, a bold new account of animal rights, why they may be on the verge of mass popularity, and why animals need a Bill of RightsIn Animals Matter, Cass Sunstein offers a pathbreaking new argument for why we must change our practices to reduce the unjustified suffering of animals. This surprisingly personal book offers a simple proposition: The interests of animals count, and we should work to promote their well-being, just as we should work to promote the well-being of humans. Drawing on psychology, behavioral economics, and his White House experiences, Sunstein reveals why people are likely, in time, to increase their support for the legal protection of animals and why, ultimately, we should adopt a Bill of Rights for animals that affirms their right to live free from cruelty and deprivation.Applying his research on “social cascades,” Sunstein compares the animal rights movement to previous causes such as civil rights that exploded in size once they passed a threshold moment. But this change won’t happen on its own. Sunstein demonstrates that we need to overcome deliberate ignorance about the mistreatment of animals, to make their suffering conspicuous and visible, and to create animal welfare cascades. Our governments need to recognize benefits and harms to animals in their policymaking. We need to give political and legal representation to animals who are being mistreated, and we need to use “nudges” to increase their well-being.Animal rights are not radical or utopian; they are rooted in widespread moral judgments. Sunstein shows how we can eventually create a world in which most people will come to embrace them.

The Ethics of Influence
Government in the Age of Behavioral Science'In this era of intransigence and intolerance, The Ethics of Influence is a vitally needed book. It embraces what all of us - left, right, and center - mutually want: a balance between the goals of welfare, autonomy, dignity, and self-government. What's more, it is a hoot to read. Roll over Mill and Marx; tell Hayek and Gramsci the news.' George A. Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2001
