David Bodanis studied mathematics, physics and history at the University of Chicago, and for many years taught the 'Intellectual Toolkit' course at Oxford University. He is the author of many books including the New York Times bestseller E=MC2, which was adapted into the PBS documentary Einstein's Big Idea. He has been a popular speaker at TED conferences and at Davos, and most recently helped run an international study for the UK Treasury on the future of high-frequency trading. Bodanis' work has been published in the Financial Times, Guardian and New York Times.
Bodanis' book is more than a business book, it is a primer for
anyone fed up with the meanness of much of society, and looking for
inspiration to do better - and fix things for others *
Financial Times *
Bodanis is a superb storyteller ... [he] is clearly one of
the good guys and this book is a cheering, timely,
inspirational reminder, as we witness a new dawn in the
American presidency, that they - we - can succeed, without losing
our souls -- Christina Patterson * Sunday Times *
This is a delightful book about a vitally important subject
- and David Bodanis is an enthralling storyteller. Prepare to be
taken on a surprising, wide-ranging and ultimately inspiring
journey to explore what makes us human - and how decency and
kindness can prevail even in dark times. You won't be able to
forget this book; and you won't want to -- Tim Harford
The core message can be found in the subtitle: 'The power of
decency in a world turned mean' ... It is a wise lesson *
Economist *
[Fairness] is one of those senses which drives our feelings much
more than our thoughts ... I cannot think of a topic more in need
of the kind of intelligent study which David Bodanis unfailingly
provides -- Rory Sutherland
Fascinating -- Roger Trapp * Forbes *
