So what you're essentially saying is that people excel at doing nothing.

So defaults are great nudges.

So interesting.

What are the three takeaways you'd like to leave the audience with today?

Richard, thank you for joining Three Takeaways.

It's been a pleasure.

I very much enjoyed all three of your books, The Winner's Curse, Nudge, and Misbehaving.

And of course, congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize.

Thanks, Lynn.

The American dream says, if you work hard, you'll get ahead.

But when you look at what really happens over time, the picture isn't so simple.

So what really helps kids succeed?
