szachary 's review for:
Think Like a Freak
by Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner
Easily the worst of the trilogy. The last pages hinted this might be the last book and I hope they stick to it. There is little original research that I haven't come across in other books. they attempt to establish and underlying theme and fail miserably at it. As a true fan of the first two books I have to say that the time has come to stop milking this cow for all its worth. The popularization of behavioural economics and pop culture sociology has crowded out the market and there isn't enough research being completed fast enough for all the books being pumped out by Ariely, Pink, Kahnmen and the authors of this book.
This was a short read, stretched out at times unnecessarily and read like a magazine or series of blog posts. I hope they continue with the podcasts and blogging but until they complete some original research and add some much needed humility, I hope they let this brand die in peace.
