Return once again to the brilliance of Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner in their new follow-up to the hit freak series, Think Like A Freak. Summary of the Book What does it mean to think like a freak? The hit freak duo returns to speak their mind on how to think like them. A readable and practical toolkit on thinking outside the box, this book shows readers how to be as curious as a child, and how to learn when to quit. It gives practical advice for all situations, and is full of real-life examples. Changing their approach from the previous installments to the series, Dubner and Levitt present simple ways to get better results. In nine chapters, they teach readers how to think like a fourth grader, how to understand game theory, and how to reward people the right way. Like their previous books, it is full of anecdotes such as how King Solomon and David Lee Roth of Van Halen are similar. A definite read for freaks new and old, catch it while stocks last.
