Freakonomics

Read “Freakonomics “ by Steven D. levitt and Stephen J. Dubner.
As it says, it explores the hidden side of everything…

The chapters are named in very different ways like
• What do school teachers and sumo wrestlers are in common?
• How is the Ku Klux Klan like a group of Real-Estate agents?
• Why do drug dealers still live with their moms?
• What makes a perfect parent? How relevant are parents? Etc…

As the chapter names, the reading of the book was also a challenge in a way, it was demanding read and think about what you read. Not a leisure read at all.

Whts difference this book made to me?

I think it prompt me to ask more questions to myself.
Many of them may not lead to anything .But some of them will produce answers that are interesting, even surprising.

This is one book one must read if he prefers to improve the lateral thinking; well the vertical/diagonal any type of thinking rather…
