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.

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。
評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...
評分花了一个白天加前一个晚上,把这本书看完了。这本书的字数数量还是很多,就字数和定价来说,还是可以。 内容上,我看完后,回顾起来,书里没有很有条理地进行归纳论述,正如一个评论里说,这个书是堆积了大量例子组成的,看过就可以遗忘。看书过程中,没有很好的...
評分由于大学读的是新闻,导致我对于普利策新闻奖这个称谓无比推崇,当然发自内心的说:那些记者们不仅逻辑清晰、勇往无畏,且文笔流畅,写作功底足以与一流的作家媲美,最重要的一点是,他们都非常善于发现聚焦点以及隐藏在背后的真相。 好吧,就不继续岔远了,今天推荐的书,是...
評分约瑟夫.哈里南写了一本书,《为什么我们视而不见:错觉》。 看完书,就对一点印象深刻:男人女人都自恋,男人更自恋一点 这本书不只是写自恋,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,...
明白真相有時候很是讓人泄氣。p.s., 原來本書封麵真是這樣的。
评分fun facts, but all too normal
评分挺好的一本書,很多生動的例子,用事實說話,寫得也蠻嚴謹。
评分本書不隻是寫自戀,主要內容是描述人類愛犯的錯誤,以及其原因——錯覺。如前言所說:我們是存在偏見的,可自己卻意識不到。這種傾嚮一方麵如此強烈,另一方麵我們對它的存在又不知不覺。
评分還得再看?
