I'm a big fan of [a:Tyler Cowen|54393|Tyler Cowen|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1241994595p2/54393.jpg]'s blog, Marginal Revolution but thought this book was pretty weak tea. It's mostly Cowen's advice on how to live a better life, and his heuristics for how he comes up with this advice, in the form of a bunch of just-so stories that occasionally lean on economic insights for support.
