A fascinating exploration of how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, helping to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind. All our lives are constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise to a particular set of problems. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favorites is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not: computers, too, face the same constraints, so computer scientists have been grappling with their version of such issues for decades. And the solutions they've found have much to teach us. In a dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, acclaimed author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show how the algorithms used by computers can 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 one's inbox to understanding the workings of memory, Algorithms to Live By transforms the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living.--From dust jacket.… (mehr)

An interesting idea for a book that almost works, to identify knowledge from the domain of computer science that can translate to everyday life.

There are at least a few ideas that are not so well known and provide interesting insight. But there are as many that are relatively well known and not as practical to apply. ( )

Excellent book, provides a lot of insight into various interesting problems. Must go back for a second reading.... ( )

An interesting book about thinking about things from a different perspective and being more optimal. Some sections felt very bloated. 3.25/5 ( )

This was a fun read, my aim with this book was to gain an overview of algorithms being actually applied in the real world, and it absolutely delivered on this!

I also had an impression that it would predominantly be geared towards self-help (with an algorithmic computer science twist) but thankfully, it wasn't so. Rather, it was sprinkled in along the end of every chapter and for the most part, motivating me to continue reading further (again, algorithms being actually applied - yippee!). Most of the contents within every chapter focuses on introducing the specific field, explaining the actual algorithms, and providing insights of their applications in the real world. The authors seem to be quite well read too, I enjoyed them citing different figures and fields.

At times trying to understand the actual algorithms in their abstract nature was a bit frustrating. In fact, I gave up during my first read in the midst of trying to understand the the first chapter. However, what helped me was rereading those excerpts a few times and then it usually clicks. Overall, definitely recommended!

A fascinating exploration of how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, helping to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind. All our lives are constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise to a particular set of problems. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime?
