Understanding Economics and Economist
The economist experiment discussed in the book are pretty interesting. The discussion on global warming and the doctor's hand washing was good. Finally the introduction of money to the monkey incident was like a movie.

Humor, Innovation, and Economics
I loved "SuperFreakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, a brilliant follow-up to their groundbreaking "Freakonomics." The book continues to explore the hidden side of everyday life, using economic principles to reveal surprising insights into human behavior and societal issues.
One of the most compelling aspects of "SuperFreakonomics" is how it showcases ingenious, simple, and affordable solutions to global problems. The authors highlight how creative thinking and unconventional approaches can lead to effective problem-solving, even though these solutions are often met with resistance and skepticism. This theme resonates throughout the book, encouraging readers to appreciate the power of innovation and open-mindedness.
The book's humor and engaging storytelling make it a joy to read. The chapter on the monkey experiment, where monkeys are taught to use money, is particularly hilarious and thought-provoking, illustrating the deep-rooted nature of economic behavior.
Additionally, the book presents some eye-opening facts about hygiene in the medical profession, making me reconsider my trust in a doctor’s sense of cleanliness from now on.
Overall, "SuperFreakonomics" is a fascinating and entertaining read that challenges conventional wisdom and inspires readers to think differently about the world. If you enjoy exploring unconventional ideas and are curious about the quirky ways economics can explain human behavior, this book is definitely for you.

Better than freakonomics
Gripping and engaging. Like a thriller movie. Even the last sentence claiming copyrights had a joke in it. The epilogue too was hilarious. Must Read

An apt title
This book could also be called the 'Second Book of Revelations'. There seems to be a twist in every tale. Many findings are totally counter intuitive and surprising.
Once I started, I could hardly stay away from it. Thoroughly enjoyed it and it was a learning experience as well.
