Thinking Statistically

By: Uri Bram

Narrated by: Uri Bram

Thinking Statistically is the book that shows you how to think like a statistician, without worrying about formal statistical techniques. Along the way we learn how selection bias can explain why your boss doesn't know he sucks (even when everyone else does); how to use Bayes' theorem to decide if your partner is cheating on you; and why Mark Zuckerberg should never be used as an example for anything. See the world in a whole new light, and make better decisions and judgments without ever going near a t-test.

Think. Think Statistically.

Rereading or relistening

I honestly don’t remember 99% of what was in this audiobook but I do have a constant positive feeling of respect towards it so I’m coming back for a second listen to actually study at versus listening to this while I drive since there’s no driving to anywhere now.

Good examples but weird formulas

It's hard to follow when he reads the formulas. Sometimes you have to write them while listening. Excellent logic thinking approach

Hilarious and easy to understand

Uri Bram explains key statistical concept with great clarity. He is funny throughout the book; you'll laugh and learn.

a short, supplementary read

well narrated and easy to follow. Not a comprehensive overview of all things statistics, but it helped me to remember some of the basic concepts.

I need to listen to it ooone more time...

To fully understand the book, you have to listen to it twice. I'm newer to the statistics world, so I need to hear it one more time before it all sinks in. It's an interesting listen nonetheless. Though monotone at times, I think it's really nice when the author narrarates his/her own work.
