Eyal Winter is professor of economics and director of the Center for the Study of Rationality at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, one of the world's leading institutions in the academic study of decision making. He served as chairman of the economics department at Hebrew University and was the 2011 recipient of the Humboldt Prize, awarded by the government of the Federal Republic of Germany. He has lectured at over 130 universities in 26 countries around the world, including Harvard University, Stanford University, Princeton University, the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Cambridge.
Which is smarter—your head or your gut? It’s a familiar refrain: you’re getting too emotional. Try and think rationally. But is it always good advice?
In this surprising book, Eyal Winter asks a simple question: why do we have emotions? If they lead to such bad decisions, why hasn’t evolution long since made emotions irrelevant? The answer is that, even though they may not behave in a purely logical manner, our emotions frequently lead us to better, safer, more optimal outcomes.
In fact, as Winter discovers, there is often logic in emotion, and emotion in logic. For instance, many mutually beneficial commitments—such as marriage, or being a member of a team—are only possible when underscored by emotion rather than deliberate thought. The difference between pleasurable music and bad noise is mathematically precise; yet it is also something we feel at an instinctive level. And even though people are usually overconfident—how can we all be above average?—we often benefit from our arrogance.
Feeling Smart brings together game theory, evolution, and behavioral science to produce a surprising and very persuasive defense of how we think, even when we don’t.

評分一看到这本书的标题“狡猾的情感”,我就下意识认为这是一本关于心理学的书maybe是从情感上来解释各种心理学现象,但我再往下看,发现有八位诺贝尔经济学奖得主联袂推荐此书,我又恍然大悟,这决不是只介绍心理学那么简单,在副标题“为何愤怒、嫉妒、偏见让我们的决策更理性”...
評分很多时候,我们并不确切地知道我们的情感是怎么产生的,或者说我们并不在意也无意于去追究那些情感都是怎么来的,我们只是体会到了各种情形、情势下所激发出来的情感的味道:或者开心,或者忧伤;或者乐观,或者悲观;或者平和,或者激动……当我们愿意静下心来,透过...
