Are we “noble in reason”? Perfect, in God’s image? Far from it, says New York University psychologist Gary Marcus. In this lucid and revealing book, Marcus argues that the mind is not an elegantly designed organ but rather a “kluge,” a clumsy, cobbled-together contraption. He unveils a fundamentally new way of looking at the human mind -- think duct tape, not supercomputer -- that sheds light on some of the most mysterious aspects of human nature.

Taking us on a tour of the fundamental areas of human experience -- memory, belief, decision-making, language, and happiness -- Marcus reveals the myriad ways our minds fall short. He examines why people often vote against their own interests, why money can’t buy happiness, why leaders often stick to bad decisions, and why a sentence like “people people left left” ties us in knots even though it’s only four words long.

Marcus also offers surprisingly effective ways to outwit our inner kluge, for the betterment of ourselves and society. Throughout, he shows how only evolution -- haphazard and undirected -- could have produced the minds we humans have, while making a brilliant case for the power and usefulness of imperfection.

认知方面不合理的地方 这类书现在的确已经非常多了,新颖东西不多。但是如果从前读的不多,这本还是可以的。为什么我还要读呢?真是验证了书里说的confirmation bias. 结尾的几条建议摘录下,有几条很像基本统计课的概念。 1. 考虑下alternative hypothesis 从正方和反方都...

开始觉得很好,后来渐渐觉得这本书的内容写得很乱,就是定了个大主题后就开始信马由缰。有些小实验挺有趣,但这本书说讲的道理不深,很表象。

The irrational part of the mind is actually an efficient evolution of mind. This book is only for popular readers.
