Review of 'Think Like a Freak: The Authors of Freakonomics Offer to Retrain Your Brain' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Really enjoyed Freakonomics - at the time, using economics to consider incentives was an uncommon way of thinking. The second book was more of the same, and not as good. This thin book purports to "retrain your brain" and, while it gives some ideas, hardly fits the self-help label. In short, this is more of the same again, and fits somewhere between 2 and 3 stars here.
