Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics (2016)

Predictably Irrational, Revised and Expanded Edition: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions (2010)
Why do our headaches persist after we take a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a fifty-cent aspirin? Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save twenty-five cents on a can of soup? When it comes to making decisions in our lives, we think we’re making smart, rational choices. But are we?

Behavioral Economics (The Basics) (2018)
Behavioral economics is everywhere – whether used by governments to shape our judgement and decision making, advertisers and marketers to sell products, or even politicians to sell policies, its insights are important and far-reaching.
Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness (2009)
Economist and the Financial TimesEvery day we make choices—about what to buy or eat, about financial investments or our children’s health and education, even about the causes we champion or the planet itself. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. Nudge is about how we make these choices and how we can make better ones. Using dozens of eye-opening examples and drawing on decades of behavioral science research, Nobel Prize winner Richard H.
Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions (2017)
What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of the new and familiar is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not. Computers, like us, confront limited space and time, so computer scientists have been grappling with similar problems for decades.
An Introduction to Behavioral Economics (2017)

Building on the strengths of the second edition, it offers an up-to-date and critical examination of the latest literature, research, developments and debates in the field.
Behavioral Economics (Routledge Advanced Texts in Economics and Finance) (2014)
Over the last few decades behavioral economics has revolutionized the discipline. It has done so by putting the human back into economics, by recognizing that people sometimes make mistakes, care about others, and are generally not as cold and calculating as economists have traditionally assumed. The results have been exciting and fascinating, and have fundamentally changed the way we look at economic behaviour.
Behavioral Law and Economics (2018)
In the past few decades, economic analysis of law has been challenged by a growing body of experimental and empirical studies that attest to prevalent and systematic deviations from the assumptions of economic rationality.
Irrationality in Health Care: What Behavioral Economics Reveals About What We Do and Why (Stanford Economics and Finance) (2014)
The health care industry in the U.S. is peculiar. We spend close to 18% of our GDP on health care, yet other countries get better results—and we don’t know why. To date, we still lack widely accepted answers to simple questions, such as “Would requiring everyone to buy health insurance make us better off?” Drawing on behavioral economics as an alternative to the standard tools of health economics, author Douglas E.
