How to Think Like a Freak: Learn How to Make Smarter Decisions with the authors of "Freakonomics"
The books Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomics have been worldwide sensations, selling tens of millions of copies. They have come to stand for challenging conventional wisdom using data rather than emotion. Questions they examine are typically: Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? How much do parents really matter? Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it\u2019s so ineffective?\n\nNow the books\u2019 two authors, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, have turned what they\u2019ve learned into a readable and practical toolkit for thinking smarter, harder, and different \u2013 thinking, that is, like a Freak.\n\nOn 28th May they came to Intelligence Squared to discuss their new Frequel, Think Like a Freak. By analysing the plans we form and the morals we choose, they showed how their insights can be applied to help us make smarter decisions in our daily lives.
