The article discusses the limitations of behavioral nudges in influencing long-term behavior change, despite their initial effectiveness in steering people towards better decisions. While nudges have been used in various settings, including promoting healthy eating or encouraging financial savings, research indicates that nudges often fail to sustain long-term engagement. Studies reveal that nudged individuals do not always follow through on their choices, highlighting the need for complementary strategies that promote sustained engagement and behavior change. The authors suggest incorporating elements that enhance motivation and ownership, such as turning tasks into games or providing feedback on progress, to enhance the effectiveness of nudges in driving lasting behavioral change.
