Think Like a Freak by Steven D. Levitt

3.0

It is a light, easy, and relatively fun read. The thinking method the authors propose isn't as revolutionary as I thought it would be given the attention their books have received. Most of the advice seems to follow common sense. Granted, maybe it is one of those things where it looks easier on paper than it is actually to do. For example, there is a whole chapter on feeling okay about quitting when you are incurring just sunk cost and losing opportunity cost. I agree that quitting, even when you know is the best thing you could do, is maybe one of the hardest things to do for a lot of us. So in that sense the book had very sensible, valid points.

Not sure if I would read all of the other books in the series though--they might be a good source for interesting stories however, as the authors base a lot of their arguments around real life examples.
