What’s it about? Look, simply put, this book is not for everyone. It is unlikely that anyone who reads this book will learn anything that is helpful to her or him in their day-to-day job.
Having said that, I found this book to be as fascinating as a book can be. I couldn’t put it down. Why do some things look oh so simple – and turn out to be incredibly complex. And why do some extraordinary complex things have incredibly simple solutions?
I was not previously familiar with the author, Jeffrey Kluger. My bad. But when I stumbled across this quote from Publishers Weekly I had to know more: “Kluger makes the modern world comprehensible….”
Today’s post is exceeding simple. No need to make it complex. If you want to know more about human behavior, or are a fan of Freakonomics or Blink, or you are just a curious person, then don’t miss this book.
The end!
