[Goose · Rating 4 out of 5]

Number Mania is packed with weird studies, funny examples, and some unsettling truths aboutqour number-obsessed culture. How rating a restaurant, counting calories, or obsessing over hotel stars doesn’t enhance the experience — it shrinks it.
Read it, laugh, and then throw your Fitbit away.

*It's also ironic that I'm giving this book a rating after reading it.

[Anthony Rafael]

Thoroughly enjoyed this read. Authors really highlight how we are affected in our day to day by numbers. (I’m going to actively choose not to give a rating but I DEFINITELY would recommend this read)

[Marthe Meurisse]

Gives some good insights about the way we use numbers. Includes fun anecdotes and makes you realize how much value we give to numbers. Maybe even to much. A lot of brainfood!
