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.

評分通常的解释是,因为蠢,所以赚钱能力差;因为懒,所以不能吃苦耐劳。两者相加导致穷,副产品是胖,因为意志力薄弱放纵食欲。 任何问题都不会只有一种正确的解释。《稀缺》提出了一个新观点:有没有可能是贫穷(稀缺)本身削弱了智力和意志力,进而加剧了贫穷(稀缺)?这有点...
評分我没看过这本书,为什么要写书评? 这是我至今唯一一本没有看过就写书评的书。我看了目录和其他人的书评,关于匮乏,我有话要讲。 是心态。 如果缺时间,就不会想要15分钟后再吃棉花糖,就不会坚持锻炼,就不会觉得睡眠是最大的投资。 如果缺钱,就不会考虑学习,不会考虑投...
評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...
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.
