Freakonomics 2

"Freakonomics", an interesting and brain-burning book, is a best-seller in dozens of countries. It provides insights into the deep motivations of human behavior and helps you see the world like a smart person.
Archimedes once said that if he could have a fulcrum on which to stand, he could have moved the earth. Now, Levitt and Dubner's book is sure to blow your mind.
Four years in the making, Freakonomics 2 delves into the lesser-known side of the world, raising questions that are both more challenging and more unexpected. It will once again challenge our conventional thinking: Why do obese women and those with unsightly teeth earn lower salaries? Do girls who actively participate in physical activity in high school find good jobs after graduation? Is it that the primary reason for most gender wage gaps is women's lack of desire for higher salaries? Do seat belts really guarantee your safety while driving or riding in a car? Are child seats just as unsafe? ...
Most of us encounter problems we can't solve, or even if we do, we're unsatisfied. Why? Because conventional thinking is at work. Like Levitt and Dubner, try a different approach. Turn conventional thinking on its head, and you'll find that once-troubling problems can be solved this way!
After reading Freakonomics 2, you will find how enjoyable it is to follow Levitt and Dubner's absurd thinking and have a thorough brainstorming.
