smellbelle 's review for:

Everybody Lies by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz
5.0

Read this. Oh wow, seriously read this. Read it all the way to the end like I did (a joke you will understand if you do read it all the way to the end like I did).
When this book is described as the new Freakonomics, it isn't wrong. I laughed (out loud on the train even!), I gasped, I 'wow!'ed and I already want to read the tentatively hinted at sequel.

With insights into the human condition that have never been examined before, Everybody Lies may make you sad in parts; but will definitely and in much greater measure make you feel so relieved that other people are indeed thinking; and Googling, the same things as you. It will also reveal that people are thinking, and Googling, some other really next level weird shit.

This is some of the best money I've ever spent, it's educational, provocative, philosophical and entertaining and I couldn't possibly have loved it any more than I did. Read this. Oh wow, seriously read this.
