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>
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...

还挺搞笑的。提到了大量的对比试验,都挺有趣的
评分几本幸福心理学为主题的畅销书中,这本的文学性和哲学性最高,实用性却是最低。Gilbert并不在乎给你什么实用的建议,而是引发你对于人类认知的探索和调侃。
评分5-star Many conclusions can be collected as valuable notes. And the writing is hilarious and vivid. Appreciate the professor.
评分这是基于 TED 演讲 做出的评分。人们对选择的预想是出乎自己意料的,人们对无法改变的事实不仅会接受,而且会更喜爱,反而对可以改变的东西,越来越不喜欢。但让人们去预想自己的喜爱程度,他们常常选择那个可选择的,不喜欢的。用户研究应当考虑到这点。 http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_gilbert_asks_why_are_we_happy.html
评分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。
