In hun internationale megasellers Freakonomics en SuperFreakonomics toonden Levitt en Dubner aan dat alledaagse problemen vaak opgelost kunnen worden door gedrag dat tegen elke normale intuïtie indruist. In Think like a freak wordt onze gangbare wijze van denken opnieuw op zijn kop gezet en leert de lezer geleerd te denken als een freak, een zonderling, en waarom dat nuttig is. Levitt en Dubner analyseren de beslissingen die we nemen, de plannen die we maken, de moraal die we erop nahouden, en ze tonen aan dat hun inzichten kunnen worden toegepast in ons dagelijks leven, waardoor we slimmere en betere besluiten nemen. Het boek bevat een gereedschapskist met instrumenten voor beter leven en denken. Zo leren we wat de voordelen zijn van iets op te geven in plaats van door te zetten en hoe we succesvol kunnen zijn in iets waar we geen talent voor hebben.
