  An everyday introduction to the most consequential science of modern life.University of Chicago economist Gary Becker won the Nobel Prize largely for his advancement of human capital theory—the idea that investing in a person’s knowledge and skills has a wide range of economic effects. Becker’s writing on the subject was technical, but his teaching, especially in his famous doctoral course at Chicago, remains legendary for its accessibility, brilliance, and applications to everyday life.In Human Capital for Humans, economist and former Becker student Pablo A. Peña channels this classroom approach to produce an accessible, essential guide to understanding the science that has become synonymous with modern life and the economy. With an illustrative and immersive style, Peña unpacks the human capital approach to domains such as parenting, aging, marriage, health, and household labor. The result is not only intellectually elevated, but an essential introduction for learners and teachers of this subject across business, management, economics, policy, and beyond.

  I used to be like a lot of people. I thought stuff was actually worth something. Okay, okay, in some cases it is. But a lot of times, it is not! 
  The problem with hoarding is usually a hidden issue that isn't straight related to it. Hoarding is a way for people to deal with their issues. Their complacency is a cover-up for finding the real solutions for what is really wrong with their lives. 
  I know people who are hoarders. Whenever I enter their home, I want to leave again. It's hard to walk, it's easy to lose things, and it doesn't feel like home. Hoarding can become a severe issue, like in that show "Extreme Hoarders." If you have a hoarding addiction, I motivate you to do something about it and stop telling yourself lies. Take control of your life and acknowledge the problem. You could start by reading this book. 
  I will attend to the issue, go over possible causes so you can recognize what is going on and why you're doing it (or your friend or member of the family), the effects and damage that can happen-- so you will be more determined-- and last but not least: Ideas to break the practice and change for the better. 
  I applaud you for making the effort to pick up this book. It is among the primary steps towards solving the problem, but it's just the beginning. After this, you are the one that can make it happen. So do not wait any longer and feel free and worriless by stopping this dreadful routine now! I guarantee you that it's worth it!
