THE NEW BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF EVERYBODY LIES 'Don't
Trust Your Gut is a tour de force - an intoxicating blend of
analysis, humor, and humanity' DANIEL H. PINK 'Seth
Stephens-Davidowitz is an expert on data-driven thinking, and this
engaging book is full of surprising, useful insights for using the
information at your fingertips to make better decisions' ADAM GRANT
Big decisions are hard. We might consult friends and family, read
advice online or turn to self-help books for guidance, but in the
end we usually just do what feels right. But what if our gut is
wrong? As economist and former Google data scientist Seth
Stephens-Davidowitz argues, our gut is actually not that reliable -
and data can prove this. In Don't Trust Your Gut, he unearths the
startling conclusions that the right data can teach us about who we
are and what will make our lives better. Over the past decade,
scholars have mined enormous datasets to find remarkable new
approaches to life's biggest self-help puzzles, from the boring
careers that produce the most wealth, to old-school, data-backed
relationship advice. While we often think we know how to better
ourselves, the numbers, it turns out, disagree. Telling fascinating
stories through the latest big data research, Stephens-Davidowitz
reveals just how wrong we really are when it comes to improving our
lives, and offers a new way of tackling our most consequential
choices.
