Description
The Freakonomics books have come to stand for challenging conventional wisdom; using data rather than emotion to answer questions. Now Levitt and Dubner have turned what they've learned into a readable and practical toolkit for thinking smarter, harder, and different - thinking, that is, like a Freak. Think Like a Freak offers rules like 'Put Your Moral Compass in Your Pocket,' 'The Upside of Quitting,' 'Just Because You're Great at Something Doesn't Mean You're Good at Everything,' and 'If You Have No Talent, Follow Levitt's Path to Success.' Praise for Freakonomics 'A phenomenon.' Observer 'Non-stop fun.' Evening Standard 'Brilliant . . . you'll be stimulated, provoked and entertained. Of how many books can that be said?' Sunday Telegraph 'Dazzling . . . a delight.' The Economist Praise for Superfreakonomics 'Page-turning, politically incorrect and ever-so-slightly intoxicating, like a large swig of tequila.' The Times 'You are guaranteed a good time.' Financial Times 'Mind-blowing.' Wall Street Journal 'Travels further than its predecessor . . . Levitt is a master at drawing counter-intuitive conclusions.' Sunday Times
