The limits of Big Data for self-help | Adam Bear

I recently read a book about how Big Data can help you “get what you really want in life” and avoid over-relying on your gut instincts when making important choices like whom to marry or what hobbies to take up. As the author suggests in this interview, the goal of the book is not to tell people to completely ignore their intuitions, but to get them to adopt more of a Moneyball approach to life decisions based on the latest rigorous Big Data analyses.
