This book from one of the founders of behavioral economics provides a good summary of research on human decisions, but then it goes hog-wild in suggesting "benevolent" government interventions that supposedly help citizens make better decisions. Too political in the second section. Also it makes too many questionable assumptions, such as that everyone should be in favor of organ donation. I do not want my organs harvested after death, and government should not have a policy about this.
