• 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 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. 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.

評分这本书似乎没有登上过什么国内的排行榜,看过后觉得翻译的很别扭,包括名字也给人一些误导(虽然是直译)。不过从书的内容来看客观的说是一本值得一看的书。这本书从比较科学严谨的实验数据来证实人思维方式上的误差,而这些误差往往导致人对未来的判断不是消极就是恐惧...
評分且不说书好书坏,就说一条:这书的书名就是坑人。它从头到尾介绍的都是人做的计划和对未来的决定为什么是不准的,怎样才能准。 应该叫《哈佛规划课》。 再说内容,很多都和丹·艾瑞里教授的《怪诞行为学》重复了。虽然这两本书可能没有个先来后到,但我看这两本书却是有先后...
