Sunstein, and Olivier Sibony, explores the pervasive presence of &ldquo;noise&rdquo; in human decision-making. The authors define &ldquo;noise&rdquo; as the unwanted variability in judgments made by individuals or groups faced with similar problems. Unlike bias, which consistently pulls judgments in one direction, noise represents a random scatter of judgments. The book delves into various domains, such as criminal justice, medicine, and business, illustrating how noise can distort decisions. The authors advocate for &ldquo;decision hygiene&rdquo; practices to reduce noise and improve judgment quality.</p>
