Numbers are one of the most important inventions of mankind, which have become an integral part of civilization. However, numbers can be not only useful, but also dangerous and insidious. They have captured our world, forced us to believe them, and not words, even the most convincing ones. The authors of "Numberaholics", two famous Scandinavian specialists in human behavior, Mikael Dalen and Helge Thorbjørnsen, explain how this happened, how numbers managed to enslave us. They tell how numbers influence society, the lives of individuals, and politicians. The authors teach how to resist the dictates of numbers, to deal with them in a way that does not impoverish your life. Perhaps, the scientists say, in some areas it is better to do without numbers, and they advise getting a kind of vaccination against numbers in order to decide for yourself how to manage them.
