An exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives to solve common decisionmaking problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind.What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of the new and familiar is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not. Computers, like us, confront limited space and time, so computer scientists have been grappling with similar problems for decades. And the solutions theyve found have much to teach us.In a dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths show how algorithms developed for computers also untangle very human questions. They explain how to have better hunches and when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. From finding a spouse to finding a parking spot, from organizing ones inbox to peering into the future, Algorithms to Live By transforms the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living.

I thought 'Algorithms to Live By' would be more about practical applications in daily life. Instead, it delves into theory quite a bit. While the information is interesting, it felt a bit too academic for my taste. I was hoping for more actionable takeaways. Still, some sections were enlightening!

Great for Tech Enthusiasts
As someone who works in tech, this book was a fantastic read. It dives deep into the algorithms that influence human decisions, which I found fascinating. The examples are relatable and help clarify complex concepts. My only hang-up was that some chapters felt a bit drawn-out; a quicker pace would have been nice.
