A propos de cet article

Your personal number detox: learn how numbers have taken control of your life--and 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 Thorbjørnsen, More Numbers Every Day is a timely and powerful investigation--and warning--about 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 vaccination--for a happier and more integrally healthy life. …
