Matt speaks with Ethan Nadelmann about vaping, e-cigarettes, and pouch nicotine alternatives to cigarettes within the broader context of health policy and the drug war. They discuss the misconceptions surrounding nicotine, harm reduction strategies, and how opposition to non-combustible nicotine mirrors past drug war policies. Ethan highlights international case studies, the role of public health organizations, and the influence of figures like Michael Bloomberg in shaping the global discourse - and misinformation - around alternatives to cigarettes.

Matt speaks with Jeffrey Miron about the justice and effectiveness of "sin taxes," evaluating whether taxes on goods like alcohol, tobacco, and sugary drinks achieve their intended public health goals or whether they unfairly restrict individual choice. The conversation explores the ethical implications of using taxation as a tool for social engineering and questions the actual impact these policies have on behavior.

Chapter 1:Summary of Nudge"Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness" is a book by behavioral economist Richard H. Thaler and legal scholar Cass R. Sunstein, first published in 2008. The book explores the concept of "libertarian paternalism" and suggests that private and public institutions can help people make better choices in their lives without eliminating freedom of choice. The central idea of the book is that by properly designing the context in which individuals make decisions—what Thaler and Sunstein call the "choice architecture"—it is possible to influence the choices people make in order to benefit them. A "nudge," as defined by the authors, is any aspect of this choice architecture that alters people's behavior in a predictable way without forbidding any options or significantly changing their economic incentives.Thaler and Sunstein argue that nudges are essential because of human cognitive limitations and biases. For instance, people tend to stick with default options, tend to be influenced by how choices are framed, and often act against their own long-term interests due to present bias and a range of other decision-making flaws.The book covers a variety of areas in which nudges can be applied, including retirement savings plans, healthcare choices, and environmental conservation. For example, automatically enrolling employees into retirement savings plans but giving them the option to opt-out increases savings participation rates dramatically."Nudge" addresses ethical concerns and emphasizes the importance of ensuring that nudges are transparent and never deceitful. It also argues that nudges should be designed to simplify decision-making and improve people's welfare by steering them towards decisions that reflect their own true preferences.Overall, "Nudge" is a significant contribution to the field of behavioral economics, providing insights into how subtle changes in the way choices are presented can have a profound impact on human behavior.Chapter 2:The Theme of Nudge"Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness" is a book authored by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein, first published in 2008. It does not contain a traditional narrative or characters as it is a non-fiction work grounded in the fields of behavioral economics and decision theory. The central thesis of the book revolves around the concept of "libertarian paternalism" and how small design changes in the environment (termed "nudges") can significantly affect individual choices in a way that improves their own welfare. Below are the key plot points, character development, and thematic ideas of the book: Key Plot Points1. Introduction of Libertarian Paternalism:- The book introduces the idea of libertarian paternalism, which endeavors to steer people towards making decisions that would improve their lives while preserving their freedom to choose.2. Choice Architecture:- Thaler and Sunstein discuss "choice architecture," the way choices can be presented to people that influences their decision-making without restricting options.3. Heuristics and Biases:- An exploration of the various cognitive biases and heuristics that typically impede rational decision-making and how these can be redirected through nudges to spawn better choices.4. Aspects of Nudging:- Various methods of nudging are discussed, such as default settings, feedback mechanisms, and the structuring of complex choices in simpler, more digestible forms.5. Applications of Nudging:- The book discusses applications in diverse fields, including finance (e.g., encouraging savings), health (e.g., influencing food choices), education, and environment, illustrating how nudges can lead to substantial improvements in societal well-being.

Welcome to Episode 44: Mindful Patience In this episode, we explore the concept of patience and its significance in our fast-paced lives. We discuss the challenges of maintaining patience and the numerous benefits it brings, from better decision-making and mental well-being to stronger relationships. We often chase instant gratification and lose sight of how delays in life assisted with patience can actually help us achieve even more than we realise. This is linked to the role of the law of gestation and divine timing, which we sometimes need to be reminded about. Using the examples of Homer and Spock brains (taken from the book "Nudge by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein), we highlight how our brains navigate between impulsive and thoughtful decisions. We examine the role of patience in leadership, showing how it helps balance quick actions with careful deliberation, leading to more effective outcomes. Sometimes impatience might be necessary, so we need to recognise that swift action can sometimes be crucial. The importance of self-patience is emphasised, as being patient with yourself is key to personal growth and nurturing healthier relationships. The episode concludes with a reflection on how patience is not just about waiting but about maintaining focus and clarity in all areas of life, ultimately leading to greater satisfaction and success.

It's Tuesday and we're looking at the biggest stories of the week. First, it's been five years and the Avalanche and Nuggets still aren't available on most Denver TVs! Kroenke Sports & Entertainment just hired a new guy who is promising to end the Altitude Sports vs. Comcast dispute for good, so can he pull it off? Then, Denver City Council is considering a proposal to ban sugary drinks in kid's meals at fast food restaurants, which one man says is just politicians attempting to “micromanage” their constituents. Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi dissect these stories and share listener comments on The Epoch Times's billboards and how, exactly, you're supposed to eat oysters. We went deep on the Altitude/Comcast dispute with our pal Jake Shapiro from Denver Sports back in 2021. Bree mentioned an episode of the If Books Could Kill podcast about the book “Nudge” by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein.

Welcome to Compromising Positions! The tech podcast that asks non-cybersecurity professionals what we in the industry can do to make their lives easier and help make our organisations more prepared to face ever-changing human-centric cyber threats! Join your hosts, Lianne Potter, Cyber Anthropologist and Head of Security Operations for a major retailer, and Jeff Watkins, Cybersecurity enthusiast and CTO for a software consultancy as they interview this week's guest!This week our guest is Melina Palmer, a renowned keynote speaker in behavioural economics and the CEO of The Brainy Business, as well as hosting one of the best podcasts on the subject of the practical application of behavioural economics.In this episode, we discuss how silos and tribal mentalities occur in the workplace due to confirmation bias and how we can expand the circle of empathy to create a more cohesive team.We'll also delve into the issue of time discounting, availability bias and optimism bias to understand why people are drawn to the easy option in the moment.We shall explore how the cybersecurity team's curse of knowledge can be a barrier to effective communication, and the need to create easier-to-digest content that enables 'buy-in.' Key takeaways for this episode are:Understanding the behaviour that leads to insecure cybersecurity behaviour is crucial in developing effective cybersecurity strategies. Silos and tribal mentalities in the workplace can be detrimental to team dynamics and productivity. Leaders should work towards creating a 'team company' culture. Confirmation bias and focusing illusion can lead to negative relationships and narrow perspectives. It's important to listen and build positive connections. Cybersecurity messages should be framed in a way that resonates with users and takes into account their knowledge and habits. To effectively communicate cybersecurity information, it's important to get into the mind space of the person you're communicating with and provide easy-to-digest content.If you're interested in understanding the behavioural science behind cybersecurity and how we can communicate more effectively, then you're in the right place.

Chapter 1 Understand the idea behind Misbehaving"Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics" is a book written by Richard H. Thaler. In this book, Thaler explores the field of behavioral economics, which combines insights from psychology and economics to understand the decision-making process of individuals. Thaler challenges the traditional economic assumption that individuals always act rationally and examines the real-life behaviors that deviate from rationality. He discusses various phenomena such as limited rationality, self-control problems, and social preferences, and explains how these behavioral biases affect economic decisions. Thaler also sheds light on the implications of behavioral economics for policy-making and suggests ways to nudge individuals towards making better choices.Chapter 2 Is Misbehaving Worth the Hype?"Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics" by Richard Thaler is generally well-regarded and highly recommended by readers interested in the field of behavioral economics. It provides insights into the development of the field and Thaler's research, making it a valuable read for those interested in understanding the influence of human behavior on economic decisions.Chapter 3 Overview of Misbehaving "Misbehaving" by Richard Thaler is a book that explores the field of behavioral economics and challenges the traditional assumptions of classical economics. Thaler, a leading figure in the field, argues that people do not always act rationally or in their best interest, as classical economics assumes, but are often influenced by psychological biases and social contexts.The book begins by discussing the history of economics and the influence of classical economic theories, such as rational choice theory and efficient markets hypothesis. Thaler introduces the concept of "econs" – rational, self-interested individuals – and argues that real humans are not always consistent or rational in their decision-making.Thaler then presents various insights from behavioral economics, using examples from everyday life, to demonstrate how people's behavior often deviates from rationality. He explains concepts such as loss aversion, mental accounting, and the framing effect, which show how people's decisions are influenced by emotions, social norms, and the way choices are presented.The author also delves into the idea of nudges, or small interventions that can help people make better choices without restricting their freedom. He discusses the impact of choice architecture and the importance of understanding human biases in designing policies and interventions that promote better decision-making.Thaler applies concepts from behavioral economics to different areas, including finance, saving for retirement, and healthcare. He highlights the importance of considering people's biases and limitations when designing financial products or public policies, and encourages the use of behavioral insights to improve outcomes in these domains.Overall, "Misbehaving" challenges the assumptions of classical economics and presents a compelling argument for the incorporation of behavioral insights into economic analysis. Thaler's engaging writing style and real-life examples make the book accessible to both academic and general readers, inviting them to question traditional economic theories and consider the implications of human behavior in decision-making.Chapter 4 Misbehaving Writer's Background The book "Misbehaving" is written by Richard H. Thaler, an American economist and professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of...

Chapter 1 What's Nudge about"Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness" is a book written by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein. The book explores the concept of "nudge," which refers to any aspect of choice architecture that alters people's behavior in a predictable way without restricting their freedom of choice. Thaler and Sunstein delve into behavioral economics, which studies how psychological biases often lead individuals to make choices that may not align with their best interests. They argue that by understanding these biases, policymakers and individuals can make small changes to the environment or context in which decisions are made to encourage better outcomes. The authors provide numerous examples and case studies from various domains, including personal finance, healthcare, education, and environmental conservation. They discuss how subtle changes in the presentation of choices, such as framing, default options, and incentives, can significantly influence decision-making and improve outcomes for individuals and society as a whole. Additionally, the book explores the ethical implications of nudges, highlighting the importance of transparency, accountability, and respect for individual autonomy. Thaler and Sunstein emphasize that nudges should be used to guide individuals towards better choices while still giving them the freedom to decide for themselves. Overall, "Nudge" offers valuable insights into human decision-making and provides practical strategies for designing environments that help individuals make better choices about their health, wealth, and overall happiness.Chapter 2 Why is Nudge A Good BookAccording to reddit comments on Nudge, "Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness" by Richard H.

Has Nudge been on your reading list? Learn the key insights now. We're scratching the surface here. If you don't already have Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein's popular book on economics, psychology, and business, order it here or get the audiobook for free to learn the juicy details. Introduction Do we make our own choices? Or do external factors influence our decisions at almost every level in life? Nudge explains how human choices result from certain behavioral economic factors. The book explores why people choose the path with the least friction in decision-making. It also details how states and organizations use nudges to influence people's choices. This includes health, wealth, and happiness decisions. In the end, Nudge sheds light on the bias that creeps into the decision-making process. Let Nudge be your guide in understanding how smaller decisions influence your behavior. This book isn't about denying freedom of choice. Rather, it introduces the concept of "libertarian paternalism." You'll learn about behavioral economics and how to identify, analyze, and control nudges. Discover how the principles in Nudge can improve your life by enhancing your decision-making skills. About Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein Richard H. Thaler is a behavioral science and economics professor at the University of Chicago. Nudge and Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics are among his bestselling books. He won the Nobel Prize in Economics and is widely praised for his work in behavioral economics. He's also featured in many publications and the blockbuster film, The Big Short. His co-author, Cass R. Sunstein, founded Harvard Law School's Behavioral Economics program. He is also a professor at the University of Chicago and an author of renowned books like How Change Happens. From 2009 to 2012, Sunstein served in the Obama administration. He worked in the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as an administrator. Thaler and Sunstein came up with Nudge at the University of Chicago. The idea was to show how states and organizations use nudges to influence people's lives. They also wanted to prove humans need some form of influence to live their best lives. To this end, here's a summary of ten key insights they discussed in the book: StoryShot #1: Humans Think Using Two Cognitive Systems StoryShot #2: There are Six Key Nudges StoryShot #3: People Make Decisions Based on Options Presented to Them StoryShot #4: Humans Need Nudges to Improve Their Financial Life Learn more about your ad choices.

The phrase “evidence-based medicine” is uttered so often in the medical world that it can lose its meaning. So what does it mean? We use the phrase to highlight the ways that medical knowledge and practice are based on scientific data, systematic studies that allow us to determine what really works, to distinguish cause and effect from random associations. And modern medicine has been built around that notion of scientific objectivity. But I also like to think of the many gaps in that evidence, the known unknowns but also the unknown unknowns. We can only use the evidence we've first sought to gather, after all. We can only seek answers to the questions we think – or allow ourselves – to ask.My next guest, Olivier Drouin, is trying to ask questions that might expand our notion of evidence-based medicine. With his focus on behavioral science, Olivier seeks to better understand the ways we behave and make decisions, the influences that shape and distort our thoughts and actions. As you'll hear, Olivier sees this as an untapped evidence base, one that scholars in psychology, economics, political science and law are familiar with, but that medicine has tended to ignore. Olivier Drouin is a pediatrician and health services researcher in the Division of General Pediatrics at Sainte-Justine university health center, a pediatric research hospital in Montreal. He trained as a Research Fellow at Harvard, where he also obtained a Master's of Public Health. Before that, he completed his clinical training at Sainte-Justine and at the Montreal Children's Hospital, where we were fellow residents. He conducts fundamental and applied research in the fields of behavioral economics, public health, global health, and health policy. He's often called upon to comment on topics related to child health in local and national media. Olivier and I first met in pediatric training at the Montreal Children's Hospital, when he was my chief resident and one of my earliest clinical teachers. We've been friends, and occasional collaborators on writing projects, ever since. One thing I've always appreciated about Olivier is his commitment to research that has concrete, practical applications, and his broad intellectual range, which allows him to make connections across disciplines.A NOTE: we use the terms “obesity” and “overweight” in this conversation, because they are typical medical terms. However, I realized after recording that they can be hurtful and stigmatizing. I apologize for that, and I intend to use more inclusive and respectful language from now on, but I did choose to keep the discussion on the tape, as I do believe it's valuable.***Links:Olivier's websiteDaniel Kahneman: "Thinking, Fast and Slow" Richard H.

Zorientowałam się, że w sumie tak jak On zarabiam na życie opowiadaniem historii. Tak jak On swoją pracę często zaczynam od wyjściowego pytania - Kim jestem i w czym jestem dobry / dobra? Kim chcę być? Czy to możliwe, że odpowiedzi na te pytania mają fundamentalne znaczenie, zarówno w procesie rozwoju, jak i w skutecznym budowaniu marki osobistej? A może sukces, to już tylko konsekwencja pracy z tymi aspektami? Czym właściwie jest dziś marka osobista? Czy potrzebują jej tylko celebryci i osoby "na świeczniku"? I w czym, tak naprawdę się przydaje? Jak buduje się markę osobistą? Co robić, a czego nie robić w tym procesie? Jak zmienia się świat marketingu i co nas czeka w najbliższym czasie? Jakie są trendy? Co jest "hot", a co już "not"? Jak On sam dba o swoja markę osobistą? Wiele pytań i jeden wspaniały Gość, by na nie wszystkie odpowiedzieć. Zapraszam Was na rozmowę z Pawłem Tkaczykiem! PS Nie omieszkałam zapytać o Batmana, wiadomo

RESOURCES Ali Azeem on LinkedIn Ali Azeem on Twitter Ipsos.com Game Over by David Sheff Nudge by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R Sunstein QUOTES “Often companies are talking about diversity, focusing more on the diversity side, because it's easier, it's measurable.” “Hiring these [diverse] people is quite an easy job relative to the much harder thing which is to make them feel included.” “Let's start building better machines.” “We need to evolve from what we've been doing before and that means moving away from this profit-maximizing approach to a people-maximizing approach.”
Prominently lauded and recommended on the book cover by Daniel Kahneman – co-author of ‘The Undoing Project,' along with Amon Tversky - 'Nudge' is the practical application extension of Kahneman and Tversky's theory and research in behavioral economics. To give just one example, Thaler and Sunstein brainstormed ideas for normalizing gay marriage in the first edition of their book, published in 2008. In their 'Final Edition' - the version I read - they explain that governments around the world, rather than relying on nudges like they recommended, just passed laws declaring gay marriage the law of the land. And they were happy with that. But Thaler and Sunstein say “We do not support a position known as “Presumed Consent,” but we do support freedom of choice.” And by this they seem to consistently mean what Progressives all over America do when they talk about being Pro Choice - freedom of choice for those whose humanity is fully recognized and affirmed. Expressing a notably low opinion of conservatives and conservatism as contrary to progress, Thaler and Sunstein proposed government getting out of marriage entirely in their earlier edition. The civil union strategy was to serve as a kind of end-run around traditionalist and conservative arguments against by playing games with the language. They were also pleasantly surprised Obama came out in favor of gay marriage in a reversal of course from his initial campaign claims and pledges. Countries that legalized gay marriage in the early 2000's and 2010's listed in 'Nudge,' each homosexual coming out of the closet is cited by them as an individual 'nudge.' So also, they talk about how in 2013 an openly homosexual bar association was admitted to argue cases at the U.S. Supreme Court for the first time, introducing 30+ lawyers who were homosexuals to Supreme Court Justices. This too served to nudge SCOTUS to the 2015 decision that judicial body made in Obergefell v. Hodges. Meanwhile, from a social and cultural standpoint, presenting normalization of acceptance for homosexuals and thereafter gay marriage as an up and coming reality, an inevitable trend, helped to make the same into a self-fulfilling prophecy even before it was actually a reality. In other words, they lied. They created the false impression, much like Ben Rhodes bragged about creating an echo chamber of disinformation in the American media regarding the Iran Nuclear Deal. It didn't hurt that David was both Ben's brother and president of CBS News from 2011-2019, by the way. But “people can even nudge themselves" seems a kind of after-thought for Thaler and Sunstein. The realization of such gets downright creepy when you come to the chapter on organ donation and an exploration of options available to governments regarding the supply and demand of transplantable organs, including the suggestion that a market could be created for them to be bought and sold. Isn't that what the CCP has been doing? And it gets downright menacing when they talk about government responses to COVID and Climate Change around the world, in no small part with the help of their influences. 'The Prince,' 'Propaganda,' 'Rules for Radicals' - Thaler and Sunstein's work feels like a dressed-up and modernized version of these and other books I've read which the Left in the U.S. especially is fond of using for strategic source material. It would seem Progressive realpolitik decided to put on a smiley face just as Goldberg's 'Liberal Fascism' foretold. The cure for what ails American society is not more nudges. The solution is for manipulative folks to stop manipulating the Nudged Enough Already. So maybe we need a new political movement. We'll call it the NEA Party. It'll be like the TEA Party, but countering nudges instead of taxes and regulations. Those who join soonest and fight hardest we will call “the knights who say NEA.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support
I am almost through ‘The Histories' by Polybius, and hope to wrap up the last few hours today. Now I remember how my friend Joseph Crampton recommended I dig into Plutarch's ‘Parallel Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans' next, and that title is calling my name. My wife is also encouraging me in this, since our kids study Plutarch as part of our homeschooling curriculum. From what I've heard from them, 'Lives' is enriching stuff. I get this favorable impression, for instance, that Plutarch places a special emphasis both on telling stories with morals as well as explaining the morals to the stories he tells. He doesn't just subject his readers to dry recitations of names and dates without effect. That is a mercy, not least because 'Lives' will be the single largest title I have ever taken up, with Audible showing the copy I've just bought at 83 hours and 11 minutes long. This will take a while, then, but I will be sure to keep you updated as I go, so you can benefit as well. You may be wondering why, though, besides encouragement from my family and friends, this seems good to me. To answer in part, I credit Victor Davis Hanson's ‘Who Killed Homer' and 'Carnage and Culture,' as well as Os Guinness's ‘A Free People's Suicide' and ‘The Magna Carta of Humanity.' These have caused me to value more highly original source material by those Greeks and Romans credited for so much of Western Civilization. By all accounts, Polybius, Plutarch, and Cicero have been hugely important to the development of Western thought, and the unfolding of World History accordingly, as the West has achieved so much dominance on a global scale. For my part, I am trying to understand what to do about the ongoing decline of the West generally, and the United States of America in particular. So it seems wise to me to go back and study the intellectual roots of our civilization, found not only in the Bible and Church History, but also among the heirloom historical and philosophical works of the Greeks and Romans. Similarly, I plan on starting ‘Nudge' by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein this weekend. My reason being a certain UnHerd interview Freddie Sayers did with Professor Susan Michie back in 2020, which I recently saw shared to Reddit. So also, an article at The Epoch Times caught my attention yesterday about Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban speaking at CPAC in Dallas, Texas on Thursday. The Conservative Political Action Conference invited Orban to address attendees, and our Leftist mainstream media is having a field day as usual because they hate his politics, particularly his warning the West about a takeover by, if we dare call them by their name, Communists. Thus, I find still more reasons to study the Greeks and Romans. Something clearly has to be done, but we must remember who we are before we can do it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

When Walmart launched its $4 generics program in 2006, the retailer was amazed by how many Americans had prescriptions they weren't getting filled, either because they couldn't afford care, or they were afraid to find out how much the drug might cost.And that key learning has guided Walmart Health ever since, as they work to address issues of accessibility, affordability and complexity in the healthcare system.Marcus Osborne is the Senior Vice President of Walmart Health, where he focuses on driving innovation and growth in healthcare for the retail giant.
