Sendhil Mullainathan is Professor of Economics at Harvard University. His real passion is behavioral economics, understanding what makes people tick - whether a senior executive in New York or a farmer in rural Tamil Nadu.
He enjoys having written but is of a mixed mind about writing.
He also occasionally enjoys doing: he helped co-found a non-profit to apply behavioral science (ideas42); and has worked in government.
Much to the surprise of who know him well, he is a recipient of the MacArthur "genius" award.
His hobbies include basketball, googling and fixing-up classic espresso machines. He also enjoys speaking about himself in the third person, which works well for bios but less well in daily life.
Eldar Shafir is an American psychologist, and the author of Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much[1] (with Sendhil Mullainathan). He is the William Stewart Tod Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs at Princeton University Department of Psychology and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He is a Faculty Associate at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University. He is co-founder and Scientific Director at ideas42, a social-science R&D lab. His area of study is behavioral economics, that is, how the decisions people make affect their financial outcomes. His research has led him to the general conclusion that people often make inadvisable decisions on financial matters when they think they are being rational.

A surprising and intriguing examination of how scarcity—and our flawed responses to it—shapes our lives, our society, and our culture
Why do successful people get things done at the last minute? Why does poverty persist? Why do organizations get stuck firefighting? Why do the lonely find it hard to make friends? These questions seem unconnected, yet Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir show that they are all are examples of a mind-set produced by scarcity.
Drawing on cutting-edge research from behavioral science and economics, Mullainathan and Shafir show that scarcity creates a similar psychology for everyone struggling to manage with less than they need. Busy people fail to manage their time efficiently for the same reasons the poor and those maxed out on credit cards fail to manage their money. The dynamics of scarcity reveal why dieters find it hard to resist temptation, why students and busy executives mismanage their time, and why sugarcane farmers are smarter after harvest than before. Once we start thinking in terms of scarcity and the strategies it imposes, the problems of modern life come into sharper focus.
Mullainathan and Shafir discuss how scarcity affects our daily lives, recounting anecdotes of their own foibles and making surprising connections that bring this research alive. Their book provides a new way of understanding why the poor stay poor and the busy stay busy, and it reveals not only how scarcity leads us astray but also how individuals and organizations can better manage scarcity for greater satisfaction and success.

读后感
//2015-07-08 10:12 <稀缺-我们是如何陷入贫穷与忙碌的> 摘要 这本书分析了稀缺的内在来源和所造成的影响，列举了许多例子，下面我把它的核心思想记录一下： [ 稀缺心态是一切稀缺的根源。 资源稀缺并不可怕，就怕有稀缺心态（以后简称'稀缺'）。 稀缺的定义：稀缺，是"...
评分看到有人评论这本书说的全是一些正确的废话——不能同意更多。完全就是在展示作者对案例研究和所谓“提炼”的能力，如果说有用，那就是作者的研究方式是不错的，同时把那些正确的东西又展示了一遍。 整本书读下来不是很舒服，可能和翻译也有较大关系，“余闲”、“管窥”、“识...
评分由于我一直是个穷人，所以我对于这本书还是有点兴趣的，但一直也没有看，主要原因是觉得有些贵，总算有点钱了，买了下来，看却没有多少耐心看，多多少少的看了点，写点自己的经验吧。 之前总是换工作，有时候是主动，有时候是被动，我一换工作，基本上都得两三个月之后才能找到...
评分偶然在微信朋友圈里看到介绍一篇《稀缺》的书评，读过之后就立即把书买了下来。吸引我的不是别的，正是“稀缺”这个主题。书的引言里说描写了书作者塞德希尔面临的忙碌和焦虑，相信这个也是很多职场人的切身体会，至少我深有感触： 我的工作是IT技术支持，工作职责就是解决客...
用户评价
经济上的贫困往往伴随时间与精力上的贫困
评分一本书只论证了一个问题：为什么越“穷”会越“穷”？穷，在一定程度上会引起专注。但另一方面，又大量占用了带宽（认知能力和执行能力）。在特定事件的专注（tunnelled），必然导致其他事情被遗忘或盲目。在一系列的救火过程中（firefighting）便不由自主的陷入恶性循环。进一步，富足（abundance）往往也孕育着稀缺的种子。“穷”往往是一系列行为和思维模式所导致。即便在富足时期，稀缺思维和行为也不能为未来带来冗余(slack)和容错(failure tolerance)。缺乏冗余和容错，任何系统都过于刚性，易碎易毁。所以，对个体而言，跳脱这种稀缺陷阱需要冗余和容错机制。对宏观政策，则需明晰个体的思考轨迹，辨别根本原委、建立制度和规则，以改变和完善社会。
评分很有启发。四星+，如果再简洁一点就是五星了。这里的scarcity，和微观经济学中的同一个词并非一个意思，后者是抽象的“稀缺”（即"constraint binds"），而前者译为“匮乏”更合适——它指的是对资源的高度缺乏和与之相伴的“mindset"。
评分方法和结论都值得怀疑。
