The Hidden Side of Everything, Freakonomics by Yagdizie Martinez Perez

Often times, people are so worried about doing things exactly right, trying to be perfect. In reality, humans are far from it! Freakonomics is an interesting book that jumps from one topic to another because the authors are trying to provide the readers examples so they can understand what the point the authors are trying to make is. Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner wrote this book in such way that they provide the readers statistical data and real-life examples in order to create credibility. Furthermore, the book discusses how stereotypes are developed by individuals that make presumptions about people’s lifestyles. Rating the book on a personal opinion on a scale from 1-10, ten being the best, I would rate this book an 8 because the topic is hard to engage with. After reading this book, I question those who portray themselves as perfect. Portraying yourself as perfect would mean that you are never willing to cheat for your own benefit. The book gives a new point of view that describes how people react to situations in a self-benefiting way. Personally, I would recommend this book to anybody who is interested in the study of human behavior.
