The behavioral systems approach applies evidence about actual human behaviorrather than assumptions about itto practical problems. It is increasingly used by governments and businesses, which have discovered that a subtle "nudge" sometimes works better than an explicit rule. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible introduction to behavioral insights, describing core features, origins, and practical examples.
