Head over to our Patreon site and subscribe at the $10 or higher level to access this and all of other Book Clubs, plus a bevy of other extras just for patrons. Hope to see you there!
 
Branching out into the world of behavioral economics, it's our newest Book Club covering the classic, Nobel-prize-adjacent, "Nudge" by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein. We're joined by our Book Club Buddy, Alan, and new patron, Victoria, to explore how the economists think of human behavior and whether the principles behind choice architecture are all they've been made out to be. Plus, Rob runs down some of the additions to the recently published "Final Edition" and how it may make "Nudge" a lesser work than the previous version. All that and the best insurance buying tips!

Hey, everybody. Welcome to ABA Inside Tracks Nudge Book Club preview version. Yes, this is a shortened version of our full two-hour book club podcast, all on the book, Nudge by Thaler and Sunstein. Now, for those of you who are newer to the show, or you haven't heard about our book clubs. We do one of these about once per season,

0:26.9

so that's about every like three months or so. And these are special locked episodes for our patrons on patreon.com slash aBA inside track at the $10 or up level. It's kind of a way for us to

0:32.8

discuss a book that's related to behavior analysis or in this case, that's sort of kind of a cousin of behavior

0:38.6

analysis. And we spend a lot longer than we would on a normal episode going through the book

0:43.3

in as much detail as we think the listeners can stomach. But in this case, I think as much

0:48.3

as relevant to the field of behavior analysis as this isn't a pure behavior analytic book.

0:53.5

And we put that out. And if you're

0:55.3

joining us on our patron feed, then you're able to earn two CEs for listening to this episode

1:01.5

for no additional cost. If you're listening to this preview, it's just a chance to get a sense

1:05.9

of what these episodes are like, because, hey, maybe you'd like to join us over there on Patreon.

1:09.8

We have a lot of other cool bonuses as well, such as our upcoming live episode. We have some special Q&As planned

1:15.6

this year, and then discounts to the CE store, in addition to some extra CEs for things like

1:21.0

the book club. And if you subscribe at the $20 level, like our listeners, Alan and Victoria do,

1:26.3

you can actually join in the book club,

1:28.5

which I'll be honest, makes our lives a lot easier because so far, everyone who's joined us in our

1:32.6

book club has had such brilliant things to say. It's very exciting. So you get to hear a little bit

1:36.3

of that in the preview. If you're like, this preview was fun and I'll wait. We do unlock these

1:42.1

about a year after they come out, and then if you're able to listen

1:45.8

to it then. So if you can be super duper patient, I suppose you can wait until 2023 to listen to this.

1:50.7

But for the rest of you, enjoy this preview and then maybe think about heading on over to

1:55.3

Patreon.com slash ABA inside track for more information. Anyway, without further ado,

2:00.2

we hope you enjoy our brief preview,
