Resources

This page lists a number of resources that are useful to learn about the various ideas I cover in the blog. It is a work in progress so check back regularly for update.

Nudge resources 

I recommend the book "Nudge" by Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler available at Amazon.

Another excellent written resource is this academic article by Johnson and colleagues.

Below I've listed a number of useful videos in various subjects.

Cass Sunstein at the CATO institute

In this video Cass Sunstein addresses an audience at the CATO Institute, a Libertarian think tank on his ideas. The video is quite long but worth viewing to get a more critical response to the ideas. 



Cass Sunstein at the WGBH forum

Another long one with Cass Sunstein going through the ideas, the audience is perhaps more receptive in this one. 



Richard Thaler at the London School of Economics

In this video Thaler gives an early address regarding the issues in relation to behavioural economics.




Richard Thaler on BBCHardTalk 

This video isn't as long but gives Thaler's interpretation of the ideas. Especially interesting for British viewers as it relates back to the work of the British Government


Richard Thaler on Big Think

Another video with Thaler, this one even short than above. Again some interesting ideas discussed.  


Behaviourism Resources

Behaviourism is best explored through print media (at first), I recommend this article I wrote as a primer. After that a number of books are necessary reads;

About Behaviorism by B. F. Skinner. 

The Behavior of Organisms by B. F. Skinner.

Beyond Freedom and Dignity by B. F. Skinner. 

Verbal Behaviour by B. F. Skinner.

Walden Two by B. F. Skinner

Don't Shoot the Dog by Karen Pryor. 

Understanding Behaviorism by William Baum 

Radical Behaviorism: The Philosophy and the Science by Mecca Chiesa 

Applied Behavior Analysis by Cooper, Heron & Heward. 

Radical Behaviorism by Sam Leigland 



I have personally read and recommend each of these books. However some are difficult to find in print so it might be best to look for online versions or check your local library.
