A fascinating journey into the hidden psychological influences that derail our decision-making, Sway will change the way you think about the way you think.
Why is it so difficult to sell a plummeting stock or end a doomed relationship? Why do we listen to advice just because it came from someone “important”? Why are we more likely to fall in love when there’s danger involved? In Sway , renowned organizational thinker Ori Brafman and his brother, psychologist Rom Brafman, answer all these questions and more.
Drawing on cutting-edge research from the fields of social psychology, behavioral economics, and organizational behavior, Sway reveals dynamic forces that influence every aspect of our personal and business lives, including loss aversion (our tendency to go to great lengths to avoid perceived losses), the diagnosis bias (our inability to reevaluate our initial diagnosis of a person or situation), and the “chameleon effect” (our tendency to take on characteristics that have been arbitrarily assigned to us).
Sway introduces us to the Harvard Business School professor who got his students to pay $204 for a $20 bill, the head of airline safety whose disregard for his years of training led to the transformation of an entire industry, and the football coach who turned conventional strategy on its head to lead his team to victory. We also learn the curse of the NBA draft, discover why interviews are a terrible way to gauge future job performance, and go inside a session with the Supreme Court to see how the world’s most powerful justices avoid the dangers of group dynamics.
Every once in a while, a book comes along that not only challenges our views of the world but changes the way we think. In Sway, Ori and Rom Brafman not only uncover rational explanations for a wide variety of irrational behaviors but also point readers toward ways to avoid succumbing to their pull.

有几个问题来测试你或你的公司是否理性: 1、年末公司决定不像以往发放年终奖,但是老板突然决定一个人发2000元作为年终奖,(以前都是一万),以便来年员工努力工作,老板的新举措会起到激励作用吗? 2、比如你年终奖取消了,大约2万,你取消了购车计划,你感觉损失了一辆车...
评分 评分关注心理学的时间不算长,讲座听了一些,书看了几本,网上博客跟了几个,文献读了一些,千丝万缕的联系,颇有点complex network的感觉。其中最明显的,就是同样的实验理论会被不同的人在各处引用来支持各自的立论,耳熟能详之余,于翻陈出新处也常有所得。 《摇摆》一书,是《...
评分研究心理学和社会学的人对经济学总是有保留意见的。 经济学强调自私的理性人假设,心理学研究里有保留意见,他们说人经常会做出很不理性的事情,而且还会为所谓的非理性找到很多借口。在社会学研究里也有保留意见,他们说人经常做出无私的事情,并非是因为考虑回报而帮助别人...
评分每天一本书,52天,2011年2月7日,阅读书籍《摇摆-难以抗拒的非理性诱惑》,一本很烂的书,结构混乱。前8章完全是在浪费时间,一直到145页结束语部分才有些有用的建议。书的推荐语完全是在误导,有用的建议很少。书的各种例子可以当成事故来读,如果你把结论写下来发现是一些常...
