STEVEN D. LEVITT, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago, was awarded the John Bates Clark medal, given to the most influential American economist under the age of forty. He is also a founder of The Greatest Good, which applies Freakonomics-style thinking to business and philanthropy.
STEPHEN J. DUBNER is an award-winning author, journalist, and radio and TV personality. He quit his first career—as an almost-rock-star—to become a writer. He has worked for The New York Times and published three non-Freakonomics books. He lives with his family in New York City.

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 rationally—to 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 compass—because 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 child—because you’ll come up with better ideas and ask better questions.
Take a master class in incentives—because for better or worse, incentives rule our world.
Learn to persuade people who don’t want to be persuaded—because being right is rarely enough to carry the day.
Learn to appreciate the upside of quitting—because you can’t solve tomorrow’s problem if you aren’t willing to abandon today’s dud.

評分十几年前看过的一部小说,其中的情节尤为深刻:一座寺庙的后山有一个古老的山洞,世世代代,每个进过山洞的人都会在里面晕倒,等到醒来时却对山洞中的经历闭口不谈。为什么他们都会有相同的生理反应,而又是什么神秘力量驱使大家保守山洞的秘密。人们众说纷纭,山洞从此也笼罩...
評分相比之前出的《魔鬼经济学1》和《魔鬼经济学2》,这第三部阅读起来舒服了很多,我几乎是一气呵成的看完的。因为整部作品,是一个完整的思维链条,就是关于如何才能拥有魔鬼经济学的类似的魔鬼思维方式的。作品的思维导图是一层一层的递进关系,整个逻辑完全没有问题,且用了很...
評分有點失望
评分2015年的第6本書:超級有趣的一本書,其中learn to say I don't know和learn to appreciate the upside of quitting尤其能引起自己的共鳴~裏麵的很多故事也很有趣~那個吃貨大賽的冠軍~哈哈~
评分全無乾貨為讀而讀…
评分Freakonomics的第三本書,開車路上聽完的,還是很有意思啊,世間大多事都可以用經濟學來解釋嘛,我也想做behavior瞭,尤其覺得他們可以利用網站上的survey來讓人做實驗很是方便。
评分天天聽人傢的podcast那麼也應該看書支持一下。
