Dan Ariely is the James B. Duke Professor of Behavioral Economics at Duke University. He also holds an appointment at the MIT Media Lab where he is the head of the eRationality research group. He was formerly the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Behavioral Economics at MIT Sloan School of Management.
Dan Ariely grew up in Israel after birth in New York. He served in the Israeli army and when 18 suffered third-degree burns over 70 percent of his body from an accidental magnesium flare explosion during training.
Ariely recovered and went on to graduate from Tel Aviv University and received a Ph.D. and M.A. in cognitive psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a Ph.D. in business from Duke University. His research focuses on discovering and measuring how people make decisions. He models the human decision making process and in particular the irrational decisions that we all make every day.
Ariely is the author of the book, Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions, which was published on February 19, 2008 by HarperCollins. When asked whether reading Predictably Irrational and understanding one's irrational behaviors could make a person's life worse (such as by defeating the benefits of a placebo), Ariely responded that there could be a short term cost, but that there would also likely be longterm benefits, and that reading his book would not make a person worse off.
The New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational and The Upside of Irrationality returns with thought-provoking work to challenge our preconceptions about dishonesty and urge us to take an honest look at ourselves.
Does the chance of getting caught affect how likely we are to cheat?
How do companies pave the way for dishonesty?
Does collaboration make us more honest or less so?
Does religion improve our honesty?
Most of us think of ourselves as honest, but, in fact, we all cheat. From Washington to Wall Street, the classroom to the workplace, unethical behavior is everywhere. None of us is immune, whether it's the white lie to head off trouble or padding our expense reports. In The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, award-winning, bestselling author Dan Ariely turns his unique insight and innovative research to the question of dishonesty.
Generally, we assume that cheating, like most other decisions, is based on a rational cost-benefit analysis. But Ariely argues, and then demonstrates, that it's actually the irrational forces that we don't take into account that often determine whether we behave ethically or not. For every Enron or political bribe, there are countless puffed rÉsumÉs, hidden commissions, and knockoff purses. In The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, Ariely shows why some things are easier to lie about; how getting caught matters less than we think; and how business practices pave the way for unethical behavior, both intentionally and unintentionally. Ariely explores how unethical behavior works in the personal, professional, and political worlds, and how it affects all of us, even as we think of ourselves as having high moral standards.
But all is not lost. Ariely also identifies what keeps us honest, pointing the way for achieving higher ethics in our everyday lives. With compelling personal and academic findings, The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty will change the way we see ourselves, our actions, and others.
书里面讲的道理还是有意思, 但就是整本书像一本实验报告合集,一直在讲各种实验室里面的测试。 而且像这种说明道理的书,我自己是更期待有一个实际生活中的例子,有故事情节的。而这本书大部分都是实验室里找10个人做一个小测验那种,实际生活中的情节较少。个人不太喜欢这种...
评分传统观念认为,欺骗跟我们所做的其他决策一样,都是基于理性的成本收益分析的。但作者用真人行为实验证明,非理性才是决定我们诚实或不诚实的根本力量,并深入剖析了在个人身上、职场中和政治世界里,不诚实行为是如何发生和产生影响的,即使我们一直自诩自己的道德水准很高。 ...
评分丹·艾瑞里又出新书了,这本《不诚实的诚实真相》中文版还是由中信引进。心理学和行为经济学相关领域,近几年热度不减,正如90年代末开始经济学成为显学一样,心理学和行为经济学与工农商学一一沾边,炙手可热势绝伦,成为显学中的显学。 显学说的不好听一点,就是泡沫,一般...

As good as "predictably irrational", but in a different way. Better than "the upside of irrationality".
评分作者一如既往推行"We should make policy not based on what we should do but based on what we do", 依然用科学实验探究非理性行为,此书关于不诚实很多结论和人们认为的原因差不多
评分"We human beings are ready and willing to steal something that does not explicitly reference monetary value—that is, something that lacks the face of a dead president." 笑裂了…… / 总觉得后面两本稍稍有点水=3=,不过那个就地域和文化差异上dishonesty程度相当接近的实验结果真心shock。。。
评分很好读的一本书,大部分内容我以前都知道了,所以当故事听听,非常幽默。人真是很容易想去cheat,但还要维持自我感觉良好的形象,所以就cheat一点点比较容易rationalize。然而人也很容易被周围人影响,slippery slope和what the hell,大概就是反正今天吃了pizza减不了肥了,不如索性再吃个冰淇淋和蛋糕吧!书中提到他们有个文章说在文件开始处签字更少cheat的实验后来被推翻了。
评分Most of the conclusions from this book are basing on experiments, which I like every much. But still, it also describes some personal experience. Personally, I don't like the books have chapters of individual experience, and get conclusion from that.
