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.

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...

Been there. Felt that.
评分老外写书都这毛病:基本观点用一篇文章就能搞定,生生凑出一本书来。而且这观点也需要继续探讨。不过总体是有价值的。
评分Been there. Felt that.
评分稀缺性占用了你的带宽,影响了你的认知能力,而囿于稀缺性对你的思考模式的影响,你又难以走出。所以你需要slack。有启发,但书还是太啰嗦了。
评分Explore and explain human behaviors in the situation of limited resources(time, money...) from the psychological side. Fresh and inspiring for the originality. For the action part, still more to explore.
