具体描述
Why do our headaches persist after taking a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a 50-cent aspirin? Why does recalling the Ten Commandments reduce our tendency to lie, even when we couldn't possibly be caught? Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save twenty-five cents on a can of soup? Why do we go back for second helpings at the unlimited buffet, even when our stomachs are already full? And how did we ever start spending $4.15 on a cup of coffee when, just a few years ago, we used to pay less than a dollar? When it comes to making decisions in our lives, we think we're in control. We think we're making smart, rational choices. But are we? In a series of illuminating, often surprising experiments, MIT behavioral economist Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking research, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities. Not only do we make astonishingly simple mistakes every day, but we make the same types of mistakes, Ariely discovers. We consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. We fail to understand the profound effects of our emotions on what we want, and we overvalue what we already own. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predictable—making us predictably irrational. From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, Ariely explains how to break through these systematic patterns of thought to make better decisions. Predictably Irrational will change the way we interact with the world—one small decision at a time.

评分人们常说，癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉，痴心妄想。事实上，癞蛤蟆不仅可以吃着天鹅肉，而且还可以让小天鹅认他为亲爹。据说小天鹅破壳出生后，第一眼看到谁，就把谁当妈妈，就跟着谁跑，所以我们才有丑小鸭里小天鹅一直把鸭当妈的故事。 人类不必小天鹅好多少。跟着随机的价格跑，跟着...
评分连续两天大雪，困在屋内除了远眺东山的雪景，便只能读书。积雪映的屋内比平日亮堂，昨晚忘了拉窗帘，结果早早被晃醒，百无聊赖，遂泡好一壶白霜雾毫，继续窝在床上把这本《怪诞行为学》翻完了。 经济学畅销书谈不上什么深度，但大多会有幽默的叙述和新奇的信息，本书也不例外...

有些试验还挺有意思的
评分老罗推荐的，前几个案例着实很吸引人。面对卑鄙被逼的商家，知道太多，太了解自己也不过增加生活的痛苦，没逼到老罗那个份上，能不看就不看吧，当然，这可以当是一本不错的故事书
