Why are lovers quicker to forgive their partners for infidelity than for leaving dirty dishes in the sink? Why will sighted people pay more to avoid going blind than blind people will pay to regain their sight? Why do dining companions insist on ordering different meals instead of getting what they really want? Why do patients remember long medical procedures as being less painful than short ones? Why do home sellers demand prices they wouldn’t dream of paying if they were home buyers? Why are shoppers happier when they can’t get refunds? Why do pigeons seem to have such excellent aim; why can’t we remember one song while listening to another; and why does the line at the grocery store always slow down the moment we join it?
In this brilliant, witty, and accessible book, renowned Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert describes the foibles of imagination and illusions of foresight that cause each of us to misconceive our tomorrows and misestimate our satisfactions. Vividly bringing to life the latest scientific research in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, and behavioral economics, Gilbert reveals what scientists have discovered about the uniquely human ability to imagine the future, and about our capacity to predict how much we will like it when we get there. With penetrating insight and sparkling prose, Gilbert explains why we seem to know so little about the hearts and minds of the people we are about to become.</p>
这本《哈佛幸福课》是中信出版社的一位编辑送我的,送的时候没跟我说写评论的事。前几天我看完了这本书,看的时候写了一点读书笔记,于是便据此写了下面这篇可能有些跑题的书评。 这本书原来曾以《撞上快乐》这样一个书名出过一版,可能第一版卖得不太理想,于是改了书名又出了...

评分1998年,一位法国人设计了一个既复杂又别开生面的自杀计划。首先,他站在高高悬崖上,脖子套上索套,绳子末端固定在大石头上。然后,他喝下毒药,并开始自焚。他还觉不够喉,从悬崖跳下时,朝着自己脑袋开了一枪。可子弹并没有打中目标,反而打断了绳索。因此,他直接掉到海里...

评分这本书看了好几个月,中间经历了好多幸福和不幸福,还真算是stumble on happiness了。作者非常幽默,几乎每段一个笑点,把这本心理学的书写亮了。感兴趣的可以去看看他在TED上的演讲。
评分highly recommend
评分前面几章节太多关于科学研究;实验数据的解释,不利于扩大阅读对象。
评分唉,连为什么快乐都知道了,那还能怎样继续快乐下去。
评分跟鸡汤毫无关系,科学地论证了为什么想象不靠谱,因为我们会填补空白,用当前去设想未来以及没有考虑到一旦事情发生,完全跟现实不一样,尤其是坏的事情。我们能够做到的是,"our great big brains do not allow us to go surefootedly into our futures, they at least allow us to understand what makes us stumble."
