Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions

by Brian Christian, Tom Griffiths

Hardcover Paperback Kindle Edition Audio CD

The book "Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions" by Christian, Brian dives into how computer algorithms can be used to make better decisions in everyday life. The authors explore a range of topics, from scheduling and optimization problems to game theory and machine learning, and show how insights from computer science can help people make more efficient and effective choices. They also take a closer look at some of the psychological biases that can get in the way of good decision-making, and offer practical tips for overcoming these obstacles. Overall, the book encourages readers to think more like algorithms in order to achieve greater success and satisfaction in life.
