That\u2019s a mistake, Tim Harford says in The Data Detective. We shouldn\u2019t be suspicious of statistics &#8211; we need to understand what they mean and how they can improve our lives: they are, at heart, human behavior seen through the prism of numbers and are often \u201cthe only way of grasping much of what is going on around us\u201d. If we can toss aside our fears and learn to approach them clearly &#8211; understanding how our own preconceptions lead us astray &#8211; statistics can point to ways we can live better and work smarter.<\/p>\n<p>As \u201cperhaps the best popular economics writer in the world\u201d (New Statesman), Tim Harford is an expert at taking complicated ideas and untangling them for millions of readers. In The Data Detective, he uses new research in science and psychology to set out ten strategies for using statistics to erase our biases and replace them with new ideas that use virtues like patience, curiosity, and good sense to better understand ourselves and the world. As a result, The Data Detective is a big-idea book about statistics and human behavior that is fresh, unexpected, and insightful.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-\">\n<h3 data-hook=\"cr-insights-heading-label\" class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book insightful, informative, and entertaining.
