CHRISTOPHER CHABRIS and DANIEL SIMONS are cognitive psychologists who have each received accolades for their research on a wide range of topics. Their “Gorillas in Our Midst” study reveals the dark side of our ability to pay attention and has quickly become one of the best-known experiments in all of psychology; it inspired a stage play and was even discussed by characters on C.S.I. Chabris, who received his Ph.D. from Harvard, is a psychology professor at Union College in New York. Simons, who received his Ph.D. from Cornell, is a psychology professor at the University of Illinois.
Reading this book will make you less sure of yourself - and that's a good thing. In The Invisible Gorilla, Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, creators of one of psychology's most famous experiments, use remarkable stories and counterintuitive scientific findings to demonstrate an important truth: Our minds don't work the way we think they do. We think we see ourselves and the world as they really are, but we're actually missing a whole lot.
Chabris and Simons combine the work of other researchers with their own findings on attention, perception, memory, and reasoning to reveal how faulty intuitions often get us into trouble. In the process, they explain:
* Why a company would spend billions to launch a product that its own analysts know will fail
* How a police officer could run right past a brutal assault without seeing it
* Why award-winning movies are full of editing mistakes
* What criminals have in common with chess masters
* Why measles and other childhood diseases are making a comeback
* Why money managers could learn a lot from weather forecasters
The Invisible Gorilla reveals the myriad ways that our intuitions can deceive us, but its much more than a catalog of human failings. Chabris and Simons explain why we succumb to these everyday illusions and what we can do to inoculate ourselves against their effects. Ultimately, the book provides a kind of x-ray vision into our own minds, making it possible to pierce the veil of illusions that clouds our thoughts and to think clearly for perhaps the first time.

评分文 | 李伟诚 001 这本书的书名源自于一个非常著名的心理学实验——看不见的大猩猩,从这个实验引发了一系列对我们人类错觉的研究。这本书提及了6个错觉:注意错觉;记忆错觉;自信错觉;知识错觉;因果错觉和潜能错觉。下面是简单的解释和应对方法。 002 注意错觉 当我们把全部...
评分原来的时候总是听人说“生活欺骗了我”。生活并不会欺骗人,因为它就像工具一样是一个客观的事物,真正欺骗我们的是我们自身,说的悲观一些就是我们创造并喜欢上了自欺与欺人。 真实的生活需要建立在智慧和知识基础上的洞察力,在这方面西方的心理学家无疑做的比中国的心理学家...
评分We are always fooled by our cognitive ability.
评分心理学科普读物共有的毛病,当然是无法避免。那就是,作者举了个例子,想要说明一个观点,但是说不明白,于是就再举个例子。举完例二,仍然说不清楚,就来个例三。最后全文的结束,当然还是一个例子。没有抽象概括能力的心理学家们,特别喜欢讲琐碎的故事,因此你无法与他们争辩,因为他们几乎没有逻辑思考能力,你反驳他在某个例子里隐约想要表达的观点,他就用另一个例子搅乱你,让你忘记你最初反驳的点,最后,很多个小时过去了,你都忘了你们说了些什么,除了大约听了很多类似的故事之外。
评分現在心理學書籍科普的缺點可能就是沒有一個發人深省的觀點,而是一堆有意思的例子,這點也是很難改變的。也是作者功力不夠的體現。|| 最近體會了什麼叫“寫作難”,真的你可能能說的頭頭是道,想法各種條碼行空,甚至還可以發人深省,但是能不能寫出來就是另外一回事兒了。|| 所以要練習寫作。
评分Narrative.
评分文笔很流畅,但问题在于讲的东西之前大多知道了,没什么太多新意和养分
