In this groundbreaking work, Harvard-trained economist Seth Stephens-Davidowitz argues that much of what we thought about people has been dead wrong. The reason? People lie, to friends, lovers, doctors, surveys—and themselves.However, we no longer need to rely on what people tell us. New data from the internet finally reveals the truth. By analyzing this digital gold mine, we can now learn what people really think, what they really want, and what they really do. Everybody Lies combines the informed analysis of Nate Silver’s The Signal and the Noise, the storytelling of Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers, and the wit and fun of Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner’s Freakonomics in a book that will change the way you view the world.  There is almost no limit to what can be learned about human nature from Big Data—provided, that is, you ask the right questions.
