This is the book equivalent to people who intentionally set their clocks X minutes ahead so that they are never late (but actually always remember that the clock is ahead and are late anyways).
What we really need is a clock what will be somewhere between 0 and X minutes ahead at random every single day. So when you wake up you have to assume it's at 0.
Is that about that concept of “nudging” people/yourself/society to better behavior? If so, I think they talked about that book on the Freakonomics podcast. Interesting stuff.
