George Herbert and the Business of Practical Piety employs contemporary nudge theory to illuminate the religious writing of George Herbert (1593-1633). Ceri Sullivan shows how Herbert's The Temple provides a compendium of techniques to support cheerful, godly thought and action, in a way which is comic, not despairing or compulsive.
