I read this about 6 years ago - it's amazing. No self-help here, it presents the evidence based work of a Nobel Prize winner - and tells you nothing about what to do with that information.

I rarely ever re-read a book. I've been really wanting to re-read this one, but have always put that off in favour of making progress on my Want to Read list... I picked it up last night and started re-reading thanks to BOTM.

A human heart posted:

the nobel prize in economics isn't even a real nobel prize.

It's administered by the Nobel Foundation, listed on their website under the section "Nobel Prizes and Laureates," with the others and awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences just like the Nobel Prize for Physics and the Nobel Prize for Chemistry - at the same time in the same ceremony even. It is commonly referred to by most people as "The Nobel Prize for Economics" --- so....

Is there a heuristic in this book concerning pedantry?

Good Book. Not Self-Help. Written by someone with real credentials, not a blogger. Better?
