SuperFreakonomics

Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance

By: Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner

Narrated by: Stephen J. Dubner

Freakonomics lived on the New York Times bestseller list for an astonishing two years. Now authors Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner return with more iconoclastic insights and observations in SuperFreakonomics—the long awaited follow-up to their New York Times Notable blockbuster. Based on revolutionary research and original studies SuperFreakonomics promises to once again challenge our view of the way the world really works.

Worth Your Time

If you read and enjoyed the first book, Freakonomics, listening to the 2nd one is a no-brainer. If you haven't, you don't need to worry about going in order. These are just a series of interesting stories about how people are influenced by incentives. Like books by Malcolm Gladwell, this book will make you think.

Incentives

I really enjoy listening to this series! It provides an interesting view of incentives and a gambit of interesting approaches for applying them.

Cool concept for a book.

I liked both books in series, made you think about things in a new light. I think it was worth a credit. Overall about a high 3 or very low 4

Another hit from Stephen & Steven!

These guys take seemingly unrelated threads of data and weave them together into a beautiful tapestry of understanding.

As good as I had hoped for!

From their books to the podcast, the material is always very interesting, the audio quality fantastic, and narration engaging. Definitely worth listening to! Thank you.
