500 _a This is a smartly written book that uses data to challenge the conventional wisdom. From basic and daily questions to complex questions, the book offers simple solutions to all of them. This is a life changing book which makes you ponder over these situations and look at things from a different angle. Think Like A Freak: How To Think Smarter About Almost Everything makes you think more than the usual time one spends on thinking over questions and problems. It puts across interesting insight from its topics like The Upside of Quitting, If You Have No Talent, Follow Levitt's Path to Success, Put Your Moral Compass in Your Pocket and Just Because You're Great at Something Doesn't Mean You're Good at Everything. Questions like how to persuade people who don't want to be persuaded, does marriage make you happy, who is easier to fool: kids or adults and more are answered in the book. Think Like A Freak: How To Think Smarter About Almost Everything opens your horizons of common thinking and encourages you to think smarter. This book is another breakthrough effort of the authors directed at society's taboos. The book is different from their first two novels as it focusses on the attitude of people towards problems and questions. The book shares interesting stories like that of an Australian doctor who proved wrong the conventional norm of ulcers being associated with spicy food and more such stories. The paperback version of the book was published by Penguin in 2014.
