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>
看了半本书之后,发现封面封底上这些推荐人,大多都是吭爹啊。你们有真正看过书吗?哪怕看一下作者的序,应该也就不会写出这样的推荐语来吧?!真是不负责任瞎推荐! 中方出版社把书扣上"哈佛幸福课"的帽子,纯粹是为了营销吧。。 如果你期待在书中找到臻达幸福的妙方,那...

一點不真誠,有功夫扯皮不如幾句話概括完
评分雖然有囉嗦,作者的類比也過於生活化,但是內容不錯文筆流暢,同類書中佼佼者。
评分Since memory and imagination are not completely reliable, people can't deal with the past and the future in a reasonable way. This book is not an instruction manual of how to become happy or in Tal Ben-Shahar's words, to become happier. You have to find your own way elsewhere.
评分Happy Book
评分跟雞湯毫無關係,科學地論證瞭為什麼想象不靠譜,因為我們會填補空白,用當前去設想未來以及沒有考慮到一旦事情發生,完全跟現實不一樣,尤其是壞的事情。我們能夠做到的是,"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."
