Summary of Seth Stephens-Davidowitz's Don't Trust Your Gut

We are experiencing a revolution in our comprehension of the most essential aspects of human existence, thanks to the internet and all the data it has generated, which we call Big Data. Massive databases cover almost every aspect of life, from dating apps to tax records, and researchers have discovered solid solutions to basic issues in these hundreds of millions of pieces of data. The data-driven answers often are not what you would have expected, and they point to making different decisions than what your instincts may be telling you. In Don’t Trust Your Gut (2022), data scientist Seth Stephens-Davidowitz presents these data-driven answers about parenting, business, athletics, and more.
