Recenzii

Think Like a Freakis not a book about how to understand magic tricks. That's what Dubner and Levitt's first two books -FreakonomicsandSuperFreakonomics- were about. It's about the attitude we need to take towards the tricks and the problems that the world throws at us. Dubner and Levitt have a set of prescriptions about what that attitude comes down to, but at its root it comes down to putting yourself in the mind of the child, gazing upwards at the double lift: free yourself from expectations, be prepared for a really really simple explanation, and let your attention wander from time to time . . . Utterly captivating
