About this listen
In this episode of The Deductionist Podcast, we dive into the fascinating world of nudge theory, the subtle ways environments and choices are structured to influence behavior without force. From fruit placed at eye level in supermarkets to government campaigns during the pandemic, nudges shape our daily lives more than we realise.
We explore the psychology and ethics of nudging, how it thrives (or fails) on scale, and why “behavior is contagious.” You’ll hear real-world stories, from urinal flies in Amsterdam to Derren Brown’s infamous heist, revealing how choice architecture can guide decisions in both everyday life and high-stakes scenarios.
Whether you’re in business, investigations, or just curious about why you chose that option on a form, you’ll walk away seeing the world through a sharper behavioural lens.
