Freak-thinking is bright, "wrong", but effective thinking. It helped King Solomon to authenticate motherhood, Australian gastroenterologist Thomas Borody to find the true cause of stomach ulcers, and puny Tucker Kobayashi to defeat seasoned gluttons in an international hot dog eating competition. In their original style, the authors of the super-bestseller Freakonomics, Steven Levitt and Steven Dubner, offer to solve problems outside the box: look at them from different angles, look for unusual approaches and not take even the most authoritative statements for an axiom. You will find many convincing examples in the book that it is very useful to think like a freak, and you will certainly want to join the ranks of the freak-thinking people of our time!
