Continuing with highlighting the work of those who were kind enough to blurb How to Decide, @CassSunstein is next up 😊

Today is the perfect day for that because tomorrow is the release day for his next book, Too Much Information! 1/13

"...His must-read arguments about when governments should and should not require companies to disclose information draw on entertaining anecdotes supported by rigorous research." - @katy_milkman on @CassSunstein

.@CassSunstein coauthored Nudge with Nobel Laureate @R_Thaler.

Nudge is one of the seminal books in the behavioral economics/policy space.

Daniel Kahneman had this to say about Nudge:
“This gem of a book . . . is a must-read for anyone who wants to see both our minds and our society working better. It will improve your decisions and it will make the world a better place.”

.@CassSunstein is one of the most productive people I know, so selecting what to highlight is hard! Another of my favorites is #Republic, which came out right around the same time as Thinking in Bets.

The difference between me and Cass is that he has published FIVE books since 2018, not including Too Much Information which is coming out tomorrow!

As you might know, Daniel Kahneman is working on a new book, Noise. It is an insightful and massively important follow-up to Thinking Fast and Slow. Along with Olivier Sibony, @CassSunstein is Kahneman’s co-author.

Co-authoring with two different Nobel Laureates is really quite something and speaks to the quality of his mind and quality of who he is as a collaborator.

Cass has a prodigious body of work in public policy, behavioral science, and law journals. Too much to highlight here, but please check him out and follow him on twitter to catch all his latest.

I had the pleasure and gift of being @CassSunstein’s coauthor on our paper, Freerolls. You can currently check it out on SSRN but it was just accepted to @BPPjournal!

The last thing I want to say about @CassSunstein is the most important.

He is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I know. He is enthusiastically supportive, and incredibly generous with his time, which is particularly notable given how busy he is.

Cass was a very early reader of How To Decide and the book is better for it. Thank you, Cass!
