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.

“每个人都有权利拥有自己的观点,却无权拥有属于自己的事实。” —— 丹尼尔·帕特里克·莫伊尼汉 先读的1,甚是有趣,分析案例的角度非常诡异,看的欲罢不能。2未读完,3不重在分析案例而是教大家如何思考,这层次又高了呐! 但我更爱1。 什么是“魔鬼式思考”? 运动员点球...
評分 評分这套魔鬼经济学看到第三本,稍微有一点审美疲劳。 这本侧重方法论,虽然还是讲了很多有趣的案例,尤其是我觉得挺好看的小孩的案例,但说教(让你学习)的氛围日益浓厚,跟之前的画风不太一样了。 前两本是“你看我是这么解决问题的,聪明吧”,第三本是“他是这么解决问题的,...
評分什麼是freak?根據本書作者的說法,freak就是那些去思考和反省別人視之為理所當然問題的人,他們不會被傳統和道德束縛,善於用新方法解決舊問題(或者新問題)。那什麼是WEIRD呢?WEIRD是心理學家Jonathan Haidt在他“The Righteous Mind”裏面定義以美國民主黨為代表人...
評分介紹瞭9條新的思維方式,有些例子挺有趣的。筆記會更新在我的博客裏
