'An entertaining and thought-provoking antidote to the tyranny of numbers in the modern world.' -Alex Bellos, author of Can You Solve My Problems?'A smart and insightful read that will totally change the way you think - and live.'-Thomas Erikson, author of Sunday Times bestseller Surrounded By Idiots'Written in lucid, skillfully translated prose that puts the science into philosophical perspective, this shines a fascinating light on the modern-day obsession with numerical quantity over quality.' -Publishers Weekly'In 31,234 words Dahlen and Thorbjørnsen cast their four critical, and at times whimsical, eyes at our numbered existences revealing that consuming too much 'pi' might be bad for our health.' -Professor Scott Page, author of The Model ThinkerHow many steps have you done today?How many emails answered?How much money have you spent this week And how many hours have you slept?Welcome to the numberdemic, where a deluge of figures, stats and data manipulate your every move. From the way you work, date and exercise to the products you buy and the news you read, numbers have worked their way into every part of our lives. But is life better this way? How are all of those numbers affecting us?With fascinating, sometimes frightening and sometimes shrewdly funny research, behavioural economists Micael Dahlen and Helge Thorbjørnsen explain why we're so attached to numbers and how we can free ourselves from their tyranny. Along the way, you'll learn why viral videos, however inaccurate, become more convincing with every view; how numbers can affect the way we physically age, if we let them; why the more films you rate the less impressive you'll find them and how numbers that 'anchor' themselves in your brain can affect the size of your mortgage - plus much more.Sharp, insightful and totally engaging, NUMBERMANIA is your vaccination against a world obsessed with numbers.

More Numbers Every Day: How Data, Stats, and Figures Control Our Lives and How to Set Ourselves Free
Seller: The Anthropologists Closet, West Des Moines, IA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New hardcover in a new dust jacket. Pages are clean and free of marks or underlining. (5.8 x 1.25 x 8.6 inches) Includes references, index, and figures. 288 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Your personal number detox: learn how numbers have taken control of your lifeand how to get it back. How many hours of sleep did you get last week? How many steps did you walk today? How many friends do you have? It seems everywhere you go, you're surrounded by numbers. You depend on them, so you think they're dependable, neutral, exact. But the truth? Numbers lie. They mislead. They're tricky, little manipulative devils. And they're in the process of really messing things up for you. You just don't know it yet. Today we all strive to quantify everything: calories, likes, website traffic, and even friends. We measure ourselves against others and compare our real experiences to imagined averages. But in our rush to measure, we can lose sight of what matters. From internationally renowned economics professors Micael Dahlen and Helge Thorbjornsen, More Numbers Every Day is a timely and powerful investigationand warningabout the trouble numbers can bring us. With groundbreaking, empowering, sometimes frightening, and sometimes funny research, they describe how numbers creep into our heads and bodies, affecting how we think and feel. But numbers aren't all bad. Sometimes they make us weaker, but sometimes they also make us stronger. More Numbers Every Day is more than just an exploration in to the somewhat mysterious, seemingly infinite pandemic of numbers. It's a numerical vaccinationfor a happier and more integrally healthy life.
