About this listen

Become a better decision-maker and more informed consumer using statistics stories. Stories stimulate our brains to enhance retention and understanding by evoking emotions. They provide context, helping us grasp complex concepts through real-life examples and establish a connection with the information. By transforming data into narratives, we recall and thus apply insights more effectively, enhancing our ability to make more informed decisions. Perfect for the Math-Averse. You don’t need to crunch numbers to make statistics valuable. Learn the key takeaways from the most useful statistics stories and apply them in your everyday life to make better decisions.

Written in clear, jargon-free language with real-world examples, "Statistics Simplified" will help you grasp world-changing conclusions and apply them to your advantage.

Understand popular trends, make informed decisions, and predict outcomes.

Uncommon ways to boost your decision-making with statistics:

  • Use inferential statistics to predict your own future behavior.
  • How your child can use descriptive statistics to convince you to get a new puppy.
  • Probability and the story of an MIT group who beat the Casino.
  • Make more accurate predictions–using a formula from genetics.

To the point

Great examples and not ambiguous. Was not overly complex but to the point. I really enjoyed the listen and would listen to this author again.
