I write popular books on data science. My first book, Everybody Lies, was a New York Times bestseller and an Economist Book of the Year. It discussed my research on how you can use internet data to better understand people. My second book, Don't Trust Your Gut, on how people can use data to make better decisions, was excerpted in The Atlantic, The New York Times, and Wired. My third book, Who Makes the NBA, harnessed AI tools to rapidly speed up the creative process.
