   No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) JasmineHere | Jan 8, 2025 |  Авторите решават да издадат трета книга, която очевидно е писана просто по задължение и разчита на хайпа от първите две, за да се продава, без всъщност да казва нищо особено на стотината си странички. (  ) Longanlon | Nov 19, 2024 |  ) markald | Nov 17, 2024 | ) yaj70 | Jan 22, 2024 | Some random thoughts after reading the book: The soccer penalty kick: Why we don’t we kick to the center of the goal? Saying “I don’t know”, and admitting you don’t know what the REAL problem is. Cobra farming in India. Zappo’s and the quitting bonus. Cold beer in the Jewish bullet factory. Why should suicide bombers buy life insurance? Use stories to persuade others. And know that anecdotes are NOT stories. David Lee Roth’s “no brown M&M’s rule”. I could go on, or you could read the book. OK (  ) jjbinkc | Aug 27, 2023 | no reviews | add a review

HTML: The New York Times bestselling Freakonomics changed the way we see the world, exposing the hidden side of just about everything. Then came SuperFreakonomics, a documentary film, an award-winning podcast, and more. Now, with Think Like a Freak, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner have written their most revolutionary book yet. With their trademark blend of captivating storytelling and unconventional analysis, they take us inside their thought process and teach us all to think a bit more productively, more creatively, more rationallyto think, that is, like a Freak. Levitt and Dubner offer a blueprint for an entirely new way to solve problems, whether your interest lies in minor lifehacks or major global reforms. As always, no topic is off-limits. They range from business to philanthropy to sports to politics, all with the goal of retraining your brain. Along the way, you'll learn the secrets of a Japanese hot-dog-eating champion, the reason an Australian doctor swallowed a batch of dangerous bacteria, and why Nigerian e-mail scammers make a point of saying they're from Nigeria. Some of the steps toward thinking like a Freak: First, put away your moral compassbecause it's hard to see a problem clearly if you've already decided what to do about it. Learn to say "I don't know"for until you can admit what you don't yet know, it's virtually impossible to learn what you need to. Think like a childbecause you'll come up with better ideas and ask better questions. Take a master class in incentivesbecause for better or worse, incentives rule our world. Learn to persuade people who don't want to be persuadedbecause being right is rarely enough to carry the day. Learn to appreciate the upside of quittingbecause you can't solve tomorrow's problem if you aren't willing to abandon today's dud.Levitt and Dubner plainly see the world like no one else. Now you can too. Never before have such iconoclastic thinkers been so revealingand so much fun to read. .No library descriptions found. |
