10 Rules for Understanding the World

When was the last time you read figures in a headline and wondered if they were really true? Do you know there's a tool that helps you see everything more clearly, and it's not X-ray glasses?

It's about the numbers and data handled by statistics, indispensable in the narrative with which today's political, economic, and social reality is constructed. And to understand the changing and complex reality in which we live, you don't need a doctorate in mathematics. A little patience and common sense are enough, but above all, it requires the curiosity that Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist, knows how to instill in his readers to observe the world with different eyes.

Review:
"Tim Harford makes us enjoy everyday statistics and even find them fascinating."
Bill Bryson, author of A Short History of Nearly Everything
