### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good reading. 4 stars for the book, but 5 stars for the Kindle edition.
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2017*

It is worth the time and the money. The book isn't as earth-shattering as Freakonomics, but it's pretty good. The 4 stars are very well deserved and maybe a little conservative... 5 stars might be a fair rating for the Kindle edition.If you buy the Kindle edition, in addition to the book it comes with a few articles and a Q&A session with the authors. These additions to the Kindle edition do add value. I liked their thoughts and the advice they gave the British Prime Minister on health care. The most interesting, however, was Dubner's interview:"... I think we should treat health and life and death more like a regular good....we need to - it's unfortunate, but we need to - make these horrible choices, where we decide, are going to send our kids to college or are we going to keep great-grandma alive for two more weeks, and the cost might be about the same for those two things. Right now we shy away from those decisions, and we pretend like life has infinite value and we can't make these choices."

    Disappointing
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2021*

Unlike the previous two books, this one seems lightweight. And including a lengthy interview with the authors in which they basically recap much of what's in the book (or in their previous books) seems like filler.Their frequent reference to having fun gives the book a feeling of being written just for the sake of it. There are some ideas here, but some of them don't really qualify as being of value, particularly within the framework of their usual work: tossing a coin to decide whether to give up a relationship or to stop doing something you've worked hard at for a long time? That just seems to trivialize the process.Asking the right questions is a valuable idea, though probably not that original, and knowing that 'I don't know' is the best answer for when you actually don't know, doesn't quite take you further. 'I don't know but I'll do my best to find out,' or 'I don't know, and I'm not sure that anyone does,' might be more helpful. I don't know...Further, you'd kind of expect a couple of authors who talk of research and the detail of data not to make two Biblical mistakes - both of which wouldn't have taken a couple of minutes to check. Adam and Eve didn't sin by eating an apple; the word is 'fruit.' King Solomon 'a young man when he inherited the throne, was eager to prove his judgment was sound' the authors write. But he wasn't eager to 'prove his judgement was sound' at all. In fact it's clear in the Bible that he was given the gift of wisdom from God because of his humility (humility at that time, anyway, if not later). He exercised this gift of wisdom to such an extent that he became known way beyond Israel's borders. The interesting thing is that this story of the two mothers is pretty much the only actual example of his exercising his wisdom. References to his wisdom at other times are either noted by the writer of the book, or by others, such as Queen Sheba. In none of those cases is there an actual example of his wisdom. In the later part of his life, of course, he proved that he'd lost the gift of wisdom when he not only had hundreds of wives and concubines, but married women who worshipped foreign gods. (

Think Like a Freak offers a new perspective for thinking.  Thinking is generally done on only one way, but Think Like a Freak offers its readers a new way to think about everyday situation.  The truth is that we can’t really predict the future, there IS a medical reason for that condition- not just stress, causality is not caused by correlation, saying “I don’t know” is OK, giving up is sometimes the answer, and thinking like a kid is more beneficial than you think. The authors of Think Like a Freak try to present problems in a way that spin them on their head and force the reader to change their thinking and perspective.  Saying “I don’t know” is HARD for most people.  It admits defeat in some sort of way and most people don’t want to be wrong or defeated, naturally.  But, the authors offer a new way of thinking.  Saying “I don’t know” is not defeat, it is the beginning, the jumping off point for new discovery.  It also, as the authors say, offers “the power of a good, randomized experiment.”  Not knowing is not defeat! As a teacher, the chapter called “What’s Your Problem?” spoke the most to me.  It speaks a great deal toward the education problems in the US.  Teachers are under enormous strain from almost every angle possible, and Think Like a Freak offers a new perspective for tackling some of those problems.  This book is changing my view of what it calls “noisy problems” and making me realize that there are new ways to experiment with learning.  Students who come with baggage can be helped if we look at the problem a little differently.  We all have barriers that we face out there, it is up to all of us change our perspective.
