Point systems are everywhere. Ready for movie night? Consult Rotten Tomatoes. Vetting a new pediatrician? See how many stars they have. At work, it can be even more pervasive: There’s KPIs and ROIs because success has to be measurable.
But what happens when we boil something down to one nice number (https://www.sciencefriday.com/segment...) ? What do we lose? Philosopher C. Thi Nguyen, author of the new book The Score (https://bookshop.org/a/18570/97805936...) , joins Host Flora Lichtman to explore how metrics can be soul-crushing in work and in life, yet keeping score is freeing in the world of games.
Read an excerpt from The Score: How to Stop Playing Somebody Else's Game (https://www.sciencefriday.com/article...) .
Guest:
