We forget our passwords. We pay too much to go to the gym. We think we’d be happier if we lived in California (we wouldn’t), and we think we should stick with our first answer on tests (we shouldn’t). Why do we make mistakes? And could we do a little better?
We human beings have design flaws. Our eyes play tricks on us, our stories change in the retelling, and most of us are fairly sure we’re way above average. In Why We Make Mistakes, journalist Joseph T. Hallinan sets out to explore the captivating science of human error--how we think, see, remember, and forget, and how this sets us up for wholly irresistible mistakes.
In his quest to understand our imperfections, Hallinan delves into psychology, neuroscience, and economics, with forays into aviation, consumer behavior, geography, football, stock picking, and more. He discovers that some of the same qualities that make us efficient also make us error prone. We learn to move rapidly through the world, quickly recognizing patterns--but overlooking details. Which is why thirteen-year-old boys discover errors that NASA scientists miss—and why you can’t find the beer in your refrigerator.
Why We Make Mistakes is enlivened by real-life stories--of weathermen whose predictions are uncannily accurate and a witness who sent an innocent man to jail--and offers valuable advice, such as how to remember where you’ve hidden something important. You’ll learn why multitasking is a bad idea, why men make errors women don’t, and why most people think San Diego is west of Reno (it’s not).
Why We Make Mistakes will open your eyes to the reasons behind your mistakes--and have you vowing to do better the next time.

关于这本书,我给的评价为“还行”。我一般给予弃之可惜,食之无味的书予这样的评价。之所以这本书被我当作鸡肋,就是因为除了将之作为镜子之外,别无用处。 讲讲为什么是“镜子”:书中举例了大量的错误的例子。我想,作者在收集这些案例方面恐怕下了不少的功夫,就像作者在...
评分这是一本讨论生活常识的书,也是一本挑战或者回归常识的书。错觉,Why we make mistakes,从众多的心理学实验中对人的决策、认知、聚焦错误、投射偏差、扭曲地图、事后之明、一心多用、主观臆断、斯特鲁普影响、分神、注意力、细节与意义、第一印象、自我美化、态度、偏见等一一...
评分很有趣的书,它总结了一些人类经常会犯的错误以及出错的原因。 看了之后,对于别人出现的小错误,更能谅解了。都是人嘛 还有一点,本书告诉我们,缺乏睡眠的话,有变成赌徒的倾向。而且还会变得缺乏创造力。睡眠不足好可怕啊
评分我们怎样思考,怎样看,怎样记忆,怎样忘怀那些有趣的东西引诱我们的人生抉择失去理性。 为什么我们视而不见、转身就忘或者自命不凡。 。。。。。。 序。 ”作者平时收集的错觉心理分析“ 被商业化的小产读书,基本没用,随便看看就好。
本书不只是写自恋,主要内容是描述人类爱犯的错误,以及其原因——错觉。如前言所说:我们是存在偏见的,可自己却意识不到。这种倾向一方面如此强烈,另一方面我们对它的存在又不知不觉。
评分original version is much better, even the quility of the paper
评分Nice
评分还得再看?
评分很好玩的一些事情,推荐一读
