How Adam Smith Can Change Your Life: An Unexpected Guide to Human Nature and Happiness by Russ Roberts

4.0

I read part of Adam Smith's The Theory of Moral Sentiments for a class in college, but I really enjoyed this refresher and Roberts' analysis on how to lead a more "virtuous" life in our contemporary world. Reading this was an excellent reminder that human interaction is a complex, ever-changing system, and quantitative analysis will never be able to full capture every decision and thought process we make. Roberts' political leanings weren't as explicit as I feared they would be, and this was a fun and engaging read that explained some of economics' "big ideas" in a new and interesting way, with an emphasis on morality and stewardship.
