About this book
This engaging guide translates core ideas from computer science into practical decisions for everyday life. Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths unpack strategies like optimal stopping for better timing, explore/exploit tradeoffs for choosing between new and familiar options, and scheduling algorithms for taming a crowded calendar. Along the way, they show how randomness can be useful, when to rely on intuition, and why sometimes it’s rational to let go of perfection. Accessible examples, vivid case studies, and gentle humor make complex concepts feel friendly. Ideal for busy readers seeking clear, evidence-based tools to reduce stress and think more effectively.
