Don't Trust Your Gut

Book • 2022
In 'Don’t Trust Your Gut,' Seth Stephens-Davidowitz uses extensive datasets to uncover surprising and effective strategies for life’s biggest self-help puzzles.

The book reveals how data from sources like dating profiles, tax records, and career trajectories contradict our instincts and offer practical, data-driven advice on topics such as finding a mate, raising children, and achieving career success.

It emphasizes the importance of relying on hard facts and figures rather than gut instincts for making smarter decisions.
