We forget our passwords. We pay too much to go to the gym. We think we’d be happier if we lived in California (we wouldn’t), and we think we should stick with our first answer on tests (we shouldn’t). Why do we make mistakes? And could we do a little better?
We human beings have design flaws. Our eyes play tricks on us, our stories change in the retelling, and most of us are fairly sure we’re way above average. In Why We Make Mistakes, journalist Joseph T. Hallinan sets out to explore the captivating science of human error--how we think, see, remember, and forget, and how this sets us up for wholly irresistible mistakes.
In his quest to understand our imperfections, Hallinan delves into psychology, neuroscience, and economics, with forays into aviation, consumer behavior, geography, football, stock picking, and more. He discovers that some of the same qualities that make us efficient also make us error prone. We learn to move rapidly through the world, quickly recognizing patterns--but overlooking details. Which is why thirteen-year-old boys discover errors that NASA scientists miss—and why you can’t find the beer in your refrigerator.
Why We Make Mistakes is enlivened by real-life stories--of weathermen whose predictions are uncannily accurate and a witness who sent an innocent man to jail--and offers valuable advice, such as how to remember where you’ve hidden something important. You’ll learn why multitasking is a bad idea, why men make errors women don’t, and why most people think San Diego is west of Reno (it’s not).
Why We Make Mistakes will open your eyes to the reasons behind your mistakes--and have you vowing to do better the next time.
花了一个白天加前一个晚上,把这本书看完了。这本书的字数数量还是很多,就字数和定价来说,还是可以。 内容上,我看完后,回顾起来,书里没有很有条理地进行归纳论述,正如一个评论里说,这个书是堆积了大量例子组成的,看过就可以遗忘。看书过程中,没有很好的...
评分整本书的数据较多,虽然说出了一些生活中经常发生的事情。可以观点较为简单,大篇幅主要还是在数据与故事上,没有太多的升入探讨。

评分还算有趣,有些例子也有现实意义。不过很多地方只提了问题没给解决方式。

评分因为我们总是信心满满还又听不进去别人的劝。
