摘要：

This article reviews three recent books that introduce challenging insights to and suggest critical implications for how behavioral science can address the broad, vexing social issues that challenge human well-being. The Chaos Machine (Fisher, 2022), How the World Really Works (Smil, 2022), and What We Owe the Future (MacAskill, 2022) offer provocative discussions of increasingly important social issues-the impact of social media, the consequences of misunderstanding science, and overcoming the delay discounting that will affect future generations, respectively-that can inform behavior scientists' thinking about improving the future while presenting a multitude of opportunities to advance our science.
