Description:

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. How many potential partners should you date before settling down? When should you stop searching for an apartment and just pick one? Should you try a new restaurant or stick to your favorite? It turns out these common human dilemmas are all versions of problems that computer scientists have been solving for decades. Algorithms to Live By offers a fascinating look at how the logic used to program computers can help us make better decisions. This audio captures the key takeaways found in the original book. Discover the 37% Rule for knowing when to stop looking, the explore/exploit trade-off for balancing new experiences with old favorites, and why a messy desk can be more efficient than a tidy one. Learn strategies for organizing your closet, scheduling your day, and even understanding the dynamics of social interactions through the lens of game theory. All fluff and unnecessary information has been removed to save you hours of time. Learn how you can apply the main lessons & principles in a five minute listen. We delve into the dangers of "overfitting"—thinking too much about a decision—and when it’s better to simply trust your instincts. If you've already read the original, this audio will help you cement the most important lessons. If you haven't, don't worry, here you will find all the practical information that you can apply.
