How change happens / by Sunstein, Cass R.,author.(CARDINAL)201957;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Norms and values -- Unleashed -- The law of group polarization -- The expressive function of law -- The uses and limits of nudges -- Nudging : a very short guide -- Forcing choices -- Welfare -- Nudges that fail -- Ethics -- Control -- Coercion -- On preferring A to B, while also preferring B to A -- Excursions -- Transparency -- Precautions -- Moral heuristics -- Rights -- Partyism.How does social change happen? When do social movements take off? Sexual harassment was once something that women had to endure; now a movement has risen up against it. White nationalist sentiments, on the other hand, were largely kept out of mainstream discourse; now there is no shortage of media outlets for them. In this book, with the help of behavioral economics, psychology, and other fields, Cass Sunstein casts a bright new light on how change happens. Sunstein focuses on the crucial role of social norms-and on their frequent collapse. When norms lead people to silence themselves, even an unpopular status quo can persist. Then one day, someone challenges the norm-a child who exclaims that the emperor has no clothes; a woman who says ٢me too.٣ Sometimes suppressed outrage is unleashed, and long-standing practices fall. Sometimes change is more gradual, as ٢nudges٣ help produce new and different decisions-apps that count calories; texted reminders of deadlines; automatic enrollment in green energy or pension plans. Sunstein explores what kinds of nudges are effective and shows why nudges sometimes give way to bans and mandates. Finally, he considers social divisions, social cascades, and ٢partyism,٣ when identification with a political party creates a strong bias against all members of an opposing party-which can both fuel and block social change.

Mindsharing : the art of crowdsourcing everything / by Zoref, Lior.(CARDINAL)409214;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-250) and index."A leading expert shows how to use the power of social media and crowd wisdom to improve our work and personal lives. Whether we need to make better financial choices, find the love of our life, or transform our career, crowdsourcing is the key to making quicker, wiser, more objective decisions. But few of us even come close to tapping the full potential of our online personal networks. Lior Zoref offers proven guidelines for applying what he calls "mind sharing" in new ways. For instance, he shows how a mother's Facebook update saved the life of a four-year-old boy, and how a manager used LinkedIn to create a year's worth of market research in less than a day. Zoref's clients are using his techniques to innovate and problem-solve in record time. Now he reveals how crowdsourcing has the ability to supercharge our thinking and upgrade every aspect of our lives. "--
