Riassunto

The Freakonomics boys are back to take us behind the phenomenon and unveil the tools for thinking like a freak.

Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner single-handedly showed the world that applying counter-intuitive approaches to everyday problems can bear surprising results.

Think Like A Freak will take readers further inside this special thought process, revealing a new way of approaching the decisions we make, the plans we create, and the morals we choose. It answers the question on the lips of everyone who's read the previous books: How can I apply these ideas to my life? How do I make smarter, harder, and better decisions? How can I truly think like a freak?

With short, highly entertaining insights running the gamut from The Upside of Quitting to How to Succeed-With No Talent, Think Like A Freak is poised to radically alter the way we think about all aspects of life on this planet.
