Numbers are one of humanity's most important inventions, becoming an integral part of civilization. However, numbers can be not only useful but also dangerous and insidious. They have taken over our world, forcing us to believe them, not words, no matter how persuasive. The authors of "Numberaholics," two renowned Scandinavian experts on human behavior, Mikael Dahlén and Helge Thorbjørnsen, explain how this happened, how numbers have managed to enslave us. They describe how numbers influence society, the lives of individuals, and politicians. The authors teach how to resist the dictates of numbers and how to deal with them in a way that doesn't impoverish our lives. Perhaps, the scientists argue, in some areas it's better to live without numbers, and they recommend getting a kind of inoculation against numbers, so that we can decide for ourselves how to manage them.
