1. The Book Of Why
This book explores the science of cause and effect, offering a groundbreaking perspective on how humans can understand and manipulate the world around them. By introducing a new mathematical framework known as causal inference, the authors demonstrate how we can move beyond traditional statistical analysis to answer complex questions about cause and effect. Through engaging examples and accessible explanations, the book challenges readers to think critically about the data and correlations they encounter in daily life, ultimately empowering them with the tools to ask and answer the fundamental question of "why?" in a more rigorous and informed manner.
