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>
2012年1月26日(星期四) 晚上9:42 第一课================= 心理自助课程变得假大空,而偏于学术的研究虽然有很多资料,但是很少有人去看。因为太艰深。 因此作者要从象牙塔到大众建立起一个链接。 ----------------------------------------------- 一部分是心理学基础的东西。...
评分幸福是一种病 据说现代社会有三粒毒药:消费主义、性自由和成功学。 其实并非如此简单。 在我充满怀疑的眼光看来,一切被过度提倡的主题,都是不可信的。 比如。 比如风靡全国多年不衰的减肥风潮。 多少傻呵呵的娘们儿真的上了当,喝减肥茶节食健身抽脂无所不为,胆子大的连蛔...
评分首先,这不是一本温情脉脉救世主式的Self-help Book,Gilbert在前言里很明确地表示: This is not an instruction manual that will tell you anything useful about how to be happy. Those books are located in the self help section and once you've bought one, done ever...
评分一个幸福的人,必须有一个明确的、可以带来快乐和意义的目标,然后努力地去追求。真正快乐的人,会在自己觉得有意义的生活方式里,享受它的点点滴滴。 一个幸福的人,是即能享受当下所做的事,又可以获得美满的未来。 寻找真正能让自己快乐而有意义的目标,才是获得幸福的关键...

前面几章节太多关于科学研究;实验数据的解释,不利于扩大阅读对象。
评分人要先快乐 学习工作效率才高 = =
评分对Happiness研究的review,感觉重点是人对happiness level的预测能力,以及回归于base line的倾向。有点经济行为学的味道?
评分有意思的是,这本书不是教你如何变得快乐, 而且探讨人们如何看待开心快乐这件事,一般来说,对于当下的心情,人们的描述还是相当准确的, 但接下来就谈到了过去和未来,人就开始使用MEMORY 和 IMAGINATION... 但它们是FLAWED AND BIASED...看这本书的时候深切体会到黑天鹅作者的关于QUOTE的说明,都是心理学家,这本书引用的很多研究跟THINKING , FAST AND SLOW 相似,只是有的地方解释有点不同.
评分highly recommend
