 most of this book is a waste of time November 18, 2008
The author has a few good suggestions about selecting restaurants. The rest of this book is a complete waste of time. The author's primary intention seems to be showing the world what a man of the world he thinks he is, e.g. titles of books he has read; names of countries has visited; names of musicians he knows about; how many different types of foods he has tasted. There is list after list of items. It was nauseating to read.
 Extremely understandable, easy to read August 28, 2008
This book reminds me of Stephen Hawking's "A brief History of time." Great authors can always make abstruse stuff understandable to even illiterate.
Great Book! June 23, 2008

 Inner Econimist thoughts June 21, 2008

The book is good, well-written and interesting. Specially good is the analyze about the logics of museums and the construction of musical tastes. The lesson of the author is "economic thougth does not build happiness". It seems to me tha way of thinking economic thought is refreshing.
 Follow the author's advice June 9, 2008

Cowen is an econ prof. and I am an econ student/junky. I read a lot of econ related books, and this has really very few insights,nothing spectacular. There are some interesting points however, mostly on how to read books.
1. Read several at once and pick one(It should not be DYIE)
2. If you do not follow tip one - Skip pages and go back to read the later(or don't)
thats my opinion quickly stated.
