Why are lovers quicker to forgive their partners for infidelity than for leaving dirty dishes in the sink? Why will sighted people pay more to avoid going blind than blind people will pay to regain their sight? Why do dining companions insist on ordering different meals instead of getting what they really want? Why do patients remember long medical procedures as being less painful than short ones? Why do home sellers demand prices they wouldn’t dream of paying if they were home buyers? Why are shoppers happier when they can’t get refunds? Why do pigeons seem to have such excellent aim; why can’t we remember one song while listening to another; and why does the line at the grocery store always slow down the moment we join it?
In this brilliant, witty, and accessible book, renowned Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert describes the foibles of imagination and illusions of foresight that cause each of us to misconceive our tomorrows and misestimate our satisfactions. Vividly bringing to life the latest scientific research in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, and behavioral economics, Gilbert reveals what scientists have discovered about the uniquely human ability to imagine the future, and about our capacity to predict how much we will like it when we get there. With penetrating insight and sparkling prose, Gilbert explains why we seem to know so little about the hearts and minds of the people we are about to become.</p>

评分1998年,一位法国人设计了一个既复杂又别开生面的自杀计划。首先,他站在高高悬崖上,脖子套上索套,绳子末端固定在大石头上。然后,他喝下毒药,并开始自焚。他还觉不够喉,从悬崖跳下时,朝着自己脑袋开了一枪。可子弹并没有打中目标,反而打断了绳索。因此,他直接掉到海里...
这本书看了好几个月,中间经历了好多幸福和不幸福,还真算是stumble on happiness了。作者非常幽默,几乎每段一个笑点,把这本心理学的书写亮了。感兴趣的可以去看看他在TED上的演讲。
评分Since memory and imagination are not completely reliable, people can't deal with the past and the future in a reasonable way. This book is not an instruction manual of how to become happy or in Tal Ben-Shahar's words, to become happier. You have to find your own way elsewhere.
评分从书名上看出,这并不是一本教你如何变得更加幸福的书。这本书阐述了大众对于幸福的常见错误认知,比如金钱,地位,天生缺陷,挫折对于幸福感的长期影响。作者罗列了很多有趣并且严密的实验,说明了人对未来幸福感的预测和记忆有着相同的一些缺陷,比如省略细节,... 此外,还有一个重大不足,就是低估自己在大喜大悲之后的复原力。 一些有趣的事实: 1. 人是唯一会思考未来的动物,因为我们有比较特别的大脑前叶。 2. 大多数连体人并不想分开。本书对我的三大启示:一,记忆是个极其不可靠的东西,有可能的话尽量记录下来。二,幻(yi)想(ying)是不个极其不可靠的东西,喜欢作者的建议 - 多读书,从而知道其他人在这些情况真正发生时的感受。三, 人更容易悔恨没做的事,而不是做过的事,so just do it.
评分5-star Many conclusions can be collected as valuable notes. And the writing is hilarious and vivid. Appreciate the professor.
评分Happy Book
