By the end of on average day in the early 21st century, human beings searching the Internet will amass eight trillion gigabytes of data. This staggering amount of information - unprecedented in history - can tell us a great deal about who we are - the fears, desires, and behaviors that drive us, and the conscious and unconscious decisions we make. From the profound to the mundane, we can gain astonishing knowledge about the human psyche that less than 20 years ago seemed unfathomable.

With big data, social research becomes science
Revisado: 05-27-17
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Since less than 7% of people actually finish a magnus opus by an economist, most of you will miss the joke in the last line of this book.
Google Trends data, and many other large data sets are able to conclusively prove how we as a population behave. Seth walked thru fascinating research into sex, racism, and class.
I know that this book will influence the research that I do. This will influence the questions I am willing to ask, and the data sets I will go to for answers. The social sciences have moved into the realm of real data.

Now in a third edition, Robert M. Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear-and the ones that plague us now-are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer.

Narator got way too quite
Revisado: 12-17-14
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The book itself was good. But the narator had a tendancy to get really quiet. I found it frurstrating. I couldn't hear some words.

After yet another online dating disaster, Amy Webb was about to cancel her JDate membership when an epiphany struck: It wasn’t that her standards were too high, as women are often told, but that she wasn’t evaluating the right data in suitors’ profiles. That night Webb, an award-winning journalist and digital-strategy expert, made a detailed, exhaustive list of what she did and didn’t want in a mate.

I've put together my spreadsheet!
Revisado: 04-26-14
Would you listen to Data, A Love Story again? Why?
I will be listening to this book again. I need to figure out how to hack my dating profile too! Amy had some wonderful advise for how to do this.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from Data, A Love Story?
Most of her book was centered on knowing what's important to me. First and foremost, I need to know what I want to get out of dating.
Secondly, I need to know what keywords catch the attention of my target audience. I could care less what works for a different target audience. Once I know my target, then I figure out how they talk.

This biblically inspired novel, third in the best-selling Jesus Chronicles, tells the story of Luke - the Gospel writer whose belief was built on the power of faith alone. Luke, who hadn't met Jesus, is skeptical of his miracles until events in his own life irreversibly change him.

Not Historically accurate
Revisado: 01-14-12
Was Luke's Story worth the listening time?
The story itself was good. But I was shocked at the level of inaccurate history that was protrayed. The research was good on the biblical side. But there was little research done on the historical side. I was most annoyed by the protrayal of University in ancient times. That was totally off base. It made me doubt the rest of the story. It jolted me out of the place I had been in, enjoying the story. Luke's clinic was also inaccurate for that time and place.
