Recenzii
Think
Like
a
Freakis
not
a
book
about
how
to
understand
magic
tricks.
That's
what
Dubner
and
Levitt's
first
two
books
-FreakonomicsandSuperFreakonomics-
were
about.
It's
about
the
attitude
we
need
to
take
towards
the
tricks
and
the
problems
that
the
world
throws
at
us.
Dubner
and
Levitt
have
a
set
of
prescriptions
about
what
that
attitude
comes
down
to,
but
at
its
root
it
comes
down
to
putting
yourself
in
the
mind
of
the
child,
gazing
upwards
at
the
double
lift:
free
yourself
from
expectations,
be
prepared
for
a
really
really
simple
explanation,
and
let
your
attention
wander
from
time
to
time
.

Utterly
