About the Book

Become a better decision-maker and more informed consumer using statistics stories.

Stories stimulate our brains to enhance retention and understanding by evoking emotions. They provide context, helping us grasp complex concepts through real-life examples and establish a connection with the information.
By transforming data into narratives, we recall and thus apply insights more effectively, enhancing our ability to make more informed decisions.

What sticks more?
Over 44 million Americans collectively owe more than $1.7 trillion in student loan debt (as of 2023).

Or... Last year, four out of five graduates entered the job market with a debt larger than an average home's down payment.
You don't need a college-level class on statistical analysis to understand how statistics affect your life - and how you can make better personal choices if you get to the correct conclusions. This book takes a step-by-step approach to drive home the key takeaways, ensuring you never feel lost.

Challenge popular fears - based on the stories data tells.
