Surprising, erudite, and witty, it showcases the brilliance that has made the authors an international sensation, with over 7 million books sold and 150 million podcast downloads. Since the original book's release, the authors have maintained a blog with a more casual and personal tone, posing offbeat questions like why flight attendants don’t receive tips, how a terrorist might plan an attack, and why KFC often runs out of fried chicken. Over the past decade, they have published more than 8,000 blog posts, many of which they admit were not their best work. However, they have carefully selected the finest entries for this collection. Readers will explore topics such as the nature of lies, effective strategies to reduce gun deaths, the controversial idea of a sex tax, and the humorous conclusion that robbing a bank is not worth the effort. Additionally, insights into the authors’ own interests, including gambling, golf, and the debate over the penny, add a personal touch to the collection.

Prečo sú ženy také nešťastné? Knihu dopĺňa aj niekoľko rozhovorov, od nositeľa Nobelovej ceny za ekonómiu až po luxusnú prostitútku.

Now in Paperback—the New York Times bestseller—and follow up to the revolutionary bestsellers Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomics—with a new author Q&A. With their trademark blend of captivating storytelling and unconventional analysis, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner take us inside their thought process and teach us all how to think a bit more productively, more creatively, more rationally. In Think Like A Freak, they offer a blueprint for an entirely new way to solve problems, whether your interest lies in minor lifehacks or major global reforms. The topics 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. Levitt and Dubner plainly see the world like no one else. Now you can too. Never before have such iconoclastic thinkers been so revealing—and so much fun to read.

Freakonomics reveals the surprising connections between various aspects of life, challenging conventional wisdom and offering a new perspective on everyday phenomena. Through engaging anecdotes and data analysis, it uncovers the underlying factors that drive behavior and decision-making, prompting readers to rethink their assumptions about economics, crime, education, and more. This groundbreaking work invites curiosity and critical thinking, making complex ideas accessible and entertaining.

The Freakonomics books have come to stand for something- challenging the conventional wisdom; using data rather than emotion to answer questions; and learning to think differently about how the world works. Now Levitt and Dubner have gathered up what they have learned and turned it into a readable and practical toolkit for thinking smarter, harder and different - thinking, that is, like a Freak. Think Like a Freakoffers a philosophy and a methodology, with rules like 'Put Your Moral Compass in Your Pocket,' 'Embrace Your Ignorance,' 'The Upside of Quitting,' 'Think Like a Child', 'Like a Bad Dye Job, The Truth is in the Roots' and 'How to win a fight, Freakonomics-style'. Thinking like a Freak comes in handy for everything from making oodles of money to wiping out diseases to getting your kids to visit you in the nursing home when you're old. This book shows how anyone can do it.
