'Algorithms to Live By' is a Self-Help Book Based on Mathematics
Michael Hemsworth — October 5, 2016 — Lifestyle
Many consumers flock to self-help books in order to gain a better understanding of how they might live or augment their lifestyle to be better, but 'Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions' takes a different approach.
Instead of just offering advice, 'Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions' provides readers with mathematical solutions and probabilities to make decisions. Simple algorithms, according to the book, can be used in one's everyday life in order to help solve the various problems that pop up each day.
While the self-help book contains a lot of really pertinent information, there's also content that's more simple in nature like how to find a parking spot and other helpful tips.
