The authors of "Freakonomics" and "SuperFreakonomics" have written a new book, similar in both style and content to the ones before it. "Think Like a Freak" by Stephen Levitt and Stephen Dubner is a fascinating look at how applying economic thinking can improve your life and your ability to solve problems. A short list of examples from the book: how a speed-eating contest is related to problem-solving, why being forthright about asking for money can improve donations to a charity, and why soccer players don't aim for the middle of the net in a penalty kick, even though it would improve their chances of scoring.
Most people who will want to read this book will have already read "Freakonomics" and "SuperFreakonomics", and if you haven't, I recommend you read those first. This book has enough interesting research and good ideas to make it worthwhile. There really is not much else to say; if you like "Freakonomics", you'll like this book too.
The New York Times bestselling Freakonomics changed the way we see the world, exposing the hidden side of just about everything. Then came SuperFreakonomics, a documentary film, an award-winning podcast, and more.

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.
