Think Like a Freak

Více o knize

The Freakonomics books have come to stand for something- challenging the conventional wisdom; using data rather than emotion to answer questions; and learning to think differently about how the world works. Now Levitt and Dubner have gathered up what they have learned and turned it into a readable and practical toolkit for thinking smarter, harder and different - thinking, that is, like a Freak. Think Like a Freakoffers a philosophy and a methodology, with rules like 'Put Your Moral Compass in Your Pocket,' 'Embrace Your Ignorance,' 'The Upside of Quitting,' 'Think Like a Child', 'Like a Bad Dye Job, The Truth is in the Roots' and 'How to win a fight, Freakonomics-style'. Thinking like a Freak comes in handy for everything from making oodles of money to wiping out diseases to getting your kids to visit you in the nursing home when you're old. This book shows how anyone can do it.
