A smart and funny book by a prominent Harvard psychologist, which uses groundbreaking research and (often hilarious) anecdotes to show us wh y we’re so lousy at predicting what will make us happy – and what we can do about it.
Most of us spend our lives steering ourselves toward the best of all possible futures, only to find that tomorrow rarely turns out as we had expected. Why? As Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert explains, when people try to imagine what the future will hold, they make some basic and consistent mistakes. Just as memory plays tricks on us when we try to look backward in time, so does imagination play tricks when we try to look forward.
Using cutting-edge research, much of it original, Gilbert shakes, cajoles, persuades, tricks and jokes us into accepting the fact that happiness is not really what or where we thought it was. Among the unexpected questions he poses: Why are conjoined twins no less happy than the general population? When you go out to eat, is it better to order your favourite dish every time, or to try something new? If Ingrid Bergman hadn’t gotten on the plane at the end of Casablanca, would she and Bogey have been better off?
Smart, witty, accessible and laugh-out-loud funny, Stumbling on Happiness brilliantly describes all that science has to tell us about the uniquely human ability to envision the future, and how likely we are to enjoy it when we get there.

评分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...
不是个人喜欢的话题,可是幽默的笔触和深刻的见解,确实是一本不可多得的好书
