Algorithms to live by : the computer science of human decisions

Summary: "A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, helping to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind. In a dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, acclaimed author Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths show how the simple, precise algorithms used by computers can also untangle very human questions. They explain how to have better hunches and when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. From finding a spouse to finding a parking spot, from organizing one's inbox to understanding the workings of human memory, this book transforms the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living."--
