Summary
The book «Bursts: The Hidden Pattern Behind Everything We Do» by Albert-László Barabási explores the patterns and predictability of human behavior through the lens of network theory and statistics. The author argues that despite seeming chaos, our actions follow certain patterns that can be identified and analyzed. Barabási uses examples from history, science, and everyday life to show how events and human actions often occur in bursts of activity rather than being evenly distributed over time. According to the author, these bursts can be explained using mathematical models, opening new possibilities for understanding and predicting human behavior.
