This staggering amount of information--unprecedented in history--can tell us a great deal about who we are--the fears, desires, and behaviors that drive us, and the conscious and unconscious decisions we make. From the profound to the mundane, this new approach to social science allows us to gain astonishing knowledge about the human psyche that less than twenty years ago, seemed unfathomable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEverybody Lies\u003c\/i\u003e offers fascinating, surprising, and sometimes laugh-out-loud insights into everything from economics to ethics to sports to race to sex, gender and more, all drawn from the world of big data. What percentage of white voters didn't vote for Barack Obama because he's black? Does where you go to school effect how successful you are in life? Do parents secretly favor boy children over girls? Do violent films affect the crime rate? Can you beat the stock market? How regularly do we lie about our sex lives and who's more self-conscious about sex, men or women?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInvestigating these questions and a host of others using surprising sources like internet search data, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz offers revelations that can help us understand ourselves and our lives better. Drawing on studies and experiments on how we really live and think, he demonstrates in fascinating and often funny ways the extent to which all the world is indeed a lab. With conclusions ranging from strange-but-true to thought-provoking to disturbing, he explores the power of this digital truth serum and its deeper potential--revealing biases deeply embedded within the human psyche, information we can use to change our culture, and the questions we're afraid to ask that might be essential to our health--both emotional and physical. All of us are touched by big data everyday, and its influence is multiplying. \u003ci\u003eEverybody Lies\u003c\/i\u003e challenges us to think differently about how we see it and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat secrets are hidden in our internet searches?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDigital Truth Serum:\u003c\/b\u003e Discover what people confess to a search engine that they would never admit to a pollster, from secret political biases to surprising sexual anxieties.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHuman Behavior, Unfiltered:\u003c\/b\u003e Explore surprising truths about everything from the real effects of violent movies to whether parents secretly favor sons over daughters.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBehavioral Economics in the Wild:\u003c\/b\u003e Go beyond theory to see what trillions of data points reveal about our conscious and unconscious decisions in economics, sports, ethics, and more.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Science of Google Trends:\u003c\/b\u003e Learn how the simple act of searching for information becomes the most important dataset ever collected on the human psyche, revealing the world as it truly is.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49542930891025,"sku":"GOR009687738","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49563952447761,"sku":"CIN0062390864G","price":4.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50045704110353,"sku":"CIN0062390864VG","price":4.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50936115593489,"sku":"GOR014132211","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999089004817,"sku":"NIN9780062390868","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51415428956433,"sku":"CIN0062390864A","price":4.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53148092367121,"sku":"GOR011946075","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0062390864.jpg?v=1751322573","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/everybody-lies-book-seth-stephens-davidowitz-9780062390868","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
