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>

评分看了半本书之后,发现封面封底上这些推荐人,大多都是吭爹啊。你们有真正看过书吗?哪怕看一下作者的序,应该也就不会写出这样的推荐语来吧?!真是不负责任瞎推荐! 中方出版社把书扣上"哈佛幸福课"的帽子,纯粹是为了营销吧。。 如果你期待在书中找到臻达幸福的妙方,那...
评分我本以为这本书会告诉我们一些实用的,关于幸福的箴言,然而这本书虽然不是纯学术的,但也绝对称不上工具书,丹尼尔用一些社会统计和研究实验的方法,特别理性地得出了一些结论,但仅仅是结论而已,并不能告诉我们如何才能得到幸福。这本书逻辑性太强,我只能切取其中一些有感...
评分花了近一周的业余时间看完了《撞上快乐》,当初是冲着书名在当当上买了它,买之前我还专门去豆瓣上看了别人写的书评,并且一而再再而三地阅读这本书的简介,最终才决定买下来,记得还不便宜,二十多块钱吧。 当然,我是被“撞上快乐”这四个字给蒙蔽了,因为我本来是想学习下如...
评分这本书似乎没有登上过什么国内的排行榜,看过后觉得翻译的很别扭,包括名字也给人一些误导(虽然是直译)。不过从书的内容来看客观的说是一本值得一看的书。这本书从比较科学严谨的实验数据来证实人思维方式上的误差,而这些误差往往导致人对未来的判断不是消极就是恐惧...
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.
评分虽然有啰嗦,作者的类比也过于生活化,但是内容不错文笔流畅,同类书中佼佼者。
评分一点不真诚,有功夫扯皮不如几句话概括完
评分via Chris. Vision, imagination, expectation, long-term plan, illusion...you name it
评分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。
