Are we “noble in reason”? Perfect, in God’s image? Far from it, says New York University psychologist Gary Marcus. In this lucid and revealing book, Marcus argues that the mind is not an elegantly designed organ but rather a “kluge,” a clumsy, cobbled-together contraption. He unveils a fundamentally new way of looking at the human mind -- think duct tape, not supercomputer -- that sheds light on some of the most mysterious aspects of human nature.

Taking us on a tour of the fundamental areas of human experience -- memory, belief, decision-making, language, and happiness -- Marcus reveals the myriad ways our minds fall short. He examines why people often vote against their own interests, why money can’t buy happiness, why leaders often stick to bad decisions, and why a sentence like “people people left left” ties us in knots even though it’s only four words long.

Marcus also offers surprisingly effective ways to outwit our inner kluge, for the betterment of ourselves and society. Throughout, he shows how only evolution -- haphazard and undirected -- could have produced the minds we humans have, while making a brilliant case for the power and usefulness of imperfection.

学者们常说,人类进化成直立行走的动物,才解放了双手,让我们成为智人。 然而这样的进化优势,却同时也让我们患上了四足动物不会有的病,比如人走多了、坐久了都会腰疼,那是因为脊椎受不了。 直立之后,让我们脊椎难以承受身体的重量,嗅觉变得不再灵敏,还要提前将胎儿排除...

嗯.是這麼迴事,可是這類書怎麼都這麼囉嗦呢

评分

開始覺得很好,後來漸漸覺得這本書的內容寫得很亂,就是定瞭個大主題後就開始信馬由繮。有些小實驗挺有趣,但這本書說講的道理不深,很錶象。
