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>
首先,这不是一本温情脉脉救世主式的Self-help Book,Gilbert在前言里很明确地表示: This is not an instruction manual that will tell you anything useful about how to be happy. Those books are located in the self help section and once you've bought one, done ever...
评分如果明天你接到一个电话:通知你中了1000万元大奖,你猜你会是什么感觉?大多数人可能会说:我会因为这一好运而高兴上很长一段时间。 如果明天你接到一个电话:通知你被学校退学,或被公司解雇。你又会有何感受?大多数人可能会觉得:自己会因此而消沉上很长一段时间。 Gilber...

这是基于 TED 演讲 做出的评分。人们对选择的预想是出乎自己意料的,人们对无法改变的事实不仅会接受,而且会更喜爱,反而对可以改变的东西,越来越不喜欢。但让人们去预想自己的喜爱程度,他们常常选择那个可选择的,不喜欢的。用户研究应当考虑到这点。 http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_gilbert_asks_why_are_we_happy.html
评分对Happiness研究的review,感觉重点是人对happiness level的预测能力,以及回归于base line的倾向。有点经济行为学的味道?
评分Happy Book
评分有意思的是,这本书不是教你如何变得快乐, 而且探讨人们如何看待开心快乐这件事,一般来说,对于当下的心情,人们的描述还是相当准确的, 但接下来就谈到了过去和未来,人就开始使用MEMORY 和 IMAGINATION... 但它们是FLAWED AND BIASED...看这本书的时候深切体会到黑天鹅作者的关于QUOTE的说明,都是心理学家,这本书引用的很多研究跟THINKING , FAST AND SLOW 相似,只是有的地方解释有点不同.
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。
