Summary:
"In their previous book, Freakonomics, Levitt and Dubner showed that applying counter-intuitive approaches to everyday problems can bear surprising results. Now, they turn your brain inside-out, teaching you how to think like a freak. The authors analyze the decisions we make, the plans we create and the morals we choose, and they show how their insights can be applied to daily life to make smarter, harder and better decisions -- their 'tool kit' for living and thinking like a freak. Entertaining and practical insights, from business to philanthropy to sports to politics, all with the goal of retraining your brain. A handbook for decision-making"--Provided by publisher.
