A fascinating journey into the hidden psychological influences that derail our decision-making, Sway will change the way you think about the way you think.
Why is it so difficult to sell a plummeting stock or end a doomed relationship? Why do we listen to advice just because it came from someone “important”? Why are we more likely to fall in love when there’s danger involved? In Sway , renowned organizational thinker Ori Brafman and his brother, psychologist Rom Brafman, answer all these questions and more.
Drawing on cutting-edge research from the fields of social psychology, behavioral economics, and organizational behavior, Sway reveals dynamic forces that influence every aspect of our personal and business lives, including loss aversion (our tendency to go to great lengths to avoid perceived losses), the diagnosis bias (our inability to reevaluate our initial diagnosis of a person or situation), and the “chameleon effect” (our tendency to take on characteristics that have been arbitrarily assigned to us).
Sway introduces us to the Harvard Business School professor who got his students to pay $204 for a $20 bill, the head of airline safety whose disregard for his years of training led to the transformation of an entire industry, and the football coach who turned conventional strategy on its head to lead his team to victory. We also learn the curse of the NBA draft, discover why interviews are a terrible way to gauge future job performance, and go inside a session with the Supreme Court to see how the world’s most powerful justices avoid the dangers of group dynamics.
Every once in a while, a book comes along that not only challenges our views of the world but changes the way we think. In Sway, Ori and Rom Brafman not only uncover rational explanations for a wide variety of irrational behaviors but also point readers toward ways to avoid succumbing to their pull.

《Sway》是一本畅销书,很适合我在上下班的路上听。这本书跟 《Predictably Irrational 》很相似,讲的是人类思维种的非理性局限。此书大约讲了四种非理性思维惯性: 1. 人们总是害怕失去,对失去的恐惧超过了对得到的喜悦。 2. 第一印象决定了人们对事物的一贯态度...
评分研究心理学和社会学的人对经济学总是有保留意见的。 经济学强调自私的理性人假设,心理学研究里有保留意见,他们说人经常会做出很不理性的事情,而且还会为所谓的非理性找到很多借口。在社会学研究里也有保留意见,他们说人经常做出无私的事情,并非是因为考虑回报而帮助别人...

评分早前读过《怪诞行为学》——《predictably irrational》,昨晚读了sway以后发现这类书籍都是大同小异。 sway也许并不是不如《怪诞》,但是它的叙述方式十分晦涩难懂,密密麻麻的字只想让我跳读。 更重要的一个暗示也许是因为我读sway的过程中发现他用了很多《怪诞》的案...

大部分篇章是都老生常谈,关于“公平”实验的详细版本,见《The Upside of Irrationality》第十章。
