July 16, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Short and Sweet Version If you're an avid Freakonomics podcast listener, like me, you won't find much new in this book.  Still, I really enjoyed the ideas and had fun applying them in my life.  It's all about critical thinking and new ways to approach problems that you might not have thought of before. Jessica Thinks Too ... Read More »
