The New York Times bestselling Freakonomics changed the way we see the world, exposing the hidden side of almost everything. After that emerged SuperFreakonomics, a documentary film, an award-winning podcast, and even more.

Now, with Think Just like a Freak, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner have written their most revolutionary book however. With their brand blend of fascinating storytelling and unconventional analysis, they consider us of their thought process and teach us all to think a little more about Think Just like a Freak: The Writers of Freakonomics Offer to Retrain THE HUMAN BRAIN productively, more artistically, more rationally-to think, that is, just like a Freak.

Levitt and Dubner offer a blueprint for an entirely new way to resolve complications, whether your interest lies in small lifehacks or main global reforms. As constantly, no topic is off-limits. They range between business to philanthropy to sports to politics, all with the purpose of retraining your brain. On the way, you’ll find out the secrets of a Japanese hot-dog-eating champ, the reason an Australian doctor swallowed a batch of harmful bacteria, and just why Nigerian e-mail scammers make a point of stating they’re from Nigeria.

Some of the techniques toward thinking such as a Freak:

First, put away your moral compass-because it’s hard to visit a problem clearly if you’ve already decided how to proceed about it. Figure out how to say “I don’t know”-for until you can admit everything you don’t however know, it’s virtually impossible to understand what you need to. Think like a child-because you’ll come up with better ideas and ask better questions. Have a master course in incentives-because for better or worse, incentives rule the world. Learn to persuade individuals who don’t desire to be persuaded-because becoming right is hardly ever enough to transport the day. Learn to enjoy the upside of quitting-because you can’t solve tomorrow’s problem if you aren’t ready to give up today’s dud.Levitt and Dubner plainly see the world like no one else. You will too. Nothing you’ve seen prior have got such iconoclastic thinkers been so revealing-and so much fun to read.
