I have and I'm recommending it:
Find Out:

why its best to implement a carbon tax.
the difference between luxury emissions and survival emissions and why it maybe difficult for China and India to reduce their carbon.

if we are acting rationally or irrationally toward the environment.
how we can exploit rationality ‘for the good’.
how, over the last 30 years, we have become averse to just about everything.
how we can take advantage of peoples’ status quo to increase their contribution of paying a carbon tax.
how designing the right system can nudge people to do the right thing – just like soft paternalism.
how Jason sought inspiration about rationality from other disciplines, such as English literature and music composition, rather than from economics.
how Jason uses music as a form of escapism.
about the inspiration Jason gets for writing songs from economics.
