“Move over Freakonomics. Move over Moneyball. This brilliant book is the best demonstration yet of how big data plus cleverness can illuminate and then move the world. Read it and you’ll see life in a new way.”
— Lawrence Summers,  Charles W. Eliot University Professor of Harvard University
“This book is about a whole new way of studying the mind.”
— Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of Our Nature
“Seth Stephens-Davidowitz brings data analysis alive in a crisp, witty manner, providing a terrific introduction to how big data is shaping social science.” — Raj Chetty, Professor of Economics, Stanford University

“Everybody Lies relies on big data to rip the veneer of what we like to think of as our civilized selves. A book that is fascinating, shocking, sometimes horrifying, but above all, revealing”— Tim Wu, author, The Attention Merchants
