We're drowning in digits and immersed in integers, and More Numbers Every Day, by internationally renowned economics professors Micael Dahlen and Helge Thorbjørnsen is a timely and powerful investigation--and warning--about the trouble numbers can bring us. Today we all strive to quantify everything: calories, likes, website traffic, and even friends. And then we rate things, too: movies, restaurants, taxi drivers, experiences, professors, and dates. 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. In this delightful and alarming book, Dahlen and Thorbjørnsen show how we're exposed and infected by an ever-more contagious pandemic of numbers. With groundbreaking, empowering, sometimes frightening, and sometimes funny research, they help us see how numbers creep into our heads and bodies, affecting how we think and feel. When do numbers make us stronger and when do they make us weaker? When do they mislead us? And when do they turn us into narcissistic idiots? Look at the book as your numerical vaccination, for a happier and more numerically healthy life"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 510 Da Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 510 Da Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 510 Da Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 510 Da Checked out 05/17/2024 Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 510 Da Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
