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.
现实生活中,人们总是用很高的道德标准衡量别人,但是一旦涉及自身的行为则有些保留。如此同时,人人都想成为别人眼中的正人君子,但暗地却干着违背道德的勾当。需要什么样的标杆去衡量道德和法律的临界点,而这样的规则由谁而定,看似简单,实则很难。 欺骗是种不诚实的表...
评分诚实之所以珍贵,就在于谎言的普遍存在。从政坛精英到市井小民,从商界巨贾到谍海特工,它成为生活的潜在主线。 经济学的理论法则中人的理性被摆在了最为冠冕堂皇的位置。从理性经济学的角度来看,对欺骗原因较为盛行的观点来自芝加哥大学的经济学家、诺贝尔奖获得者加里•...
评分 评分The Honest Truth About Dishonesty 2012-7-19 思考: 1. 是否可以给名牌的附加价值再加上一项:阻止道德滑坡? 2. 按照“勿以恶小而为之”,从网上下载免费的电子书,窃取了作者的劳动成果,是否会让人变得不诚实呢?即使初衷是好的:读书。 第一章 基于实验的三个结论...
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。 ...
太能扯了,开始灌水了
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"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。。。
评分看着看着觉得人性真是个软弱的东西。稍微不注意,我们就可以做出不诚实的事情,而自己还完全浑然不知,但是不知的情况可能是自己把自己骗了,尤其是如果带有“利人”的目的我们就更加支持自己的“善举”。DA的书一如既往地好读,联合各大学的学者一起进行有趣的小实验。现在有了脑扫描,对认知研究真是大有帮助,虽然俺们连机器都没摸过,但是看着人家的试验结果总是蠢蠢欲动。最后DA说实验状态下,米国人和中国人的欺骗行为是一样的,不多不少,不过我还是觉得,中国人更倾向于欺骗,至少我目前我有限的人生和有限的交际中是这个印象。我想,最终的问题还在于社会和文化的影响吧。
