Finished reading Freakonomics today

Freakonomics was a good read. It made me think. That’s the whole idea with the book.

It’s a best-seller written by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. Steven Levitt has a very interesting approach to economic studies. He asks totally odd questions like “What do school teachers and sumo wrestlers have in common?” or “Why do drug dealers still live at home with their moms?”. You’ll find the answers to these questions in the book along with many other very interesting facts. I guarantee you a few “Ahaa” and “Wow” moments throughout the book.

Meeting Yourself Through Others by Kay Pollak

I went out and got the book “Meeting Yourself Through Others” by Kay Pollak in Swedish and started reading the first few pages. Those pages were about forming your own reality and seeing things in a better way. Seems interesting.
