Dan Ariely is the James B. Duke Professor of Behavioral Economics at Duke University. He also holds an appointment at the MIT Media Lab where he is the head of the eRationality research group. He was formerly the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Behavioral Economics at MIT Sloan School of Management.
Dan Ariely grew up in Israel after birth in New York. He served in the Israeli army and when 18 suffered third-degree burns over 70 percent of his body from an accidental magnesium flare explosion during training.
Ariely recovered and went on to graduate from Tel Aviv University and received a Ph.D. and M.A. in cognitive psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a Ph.D. in business from Duke University. His research focuses on discovering and measuring how people make decisions. He models the human decision making process and in particular the irrational decisions that we all make every day.
Ariely is the author of the book, Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions, which was published on February 19, 2008 by HarperCollins. When asked whether reading Predictably Irrational and understanding one's irrational behaviors could make a person's life worse (such as by defeating the benefits of a placebo), Ariely responded that there could be a short term cost, but that there would also likely be longterm benefits, and that reading his book would not make a person worse off.
The New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational and The Upside of Irrationality returns with thought-provoking work to challenge our preconceptions about dishonesty and urge us to take an honest look at ourselves.
Does the chance of getting caught affect how likely we are to cheat?
How do companies pave the way for dishonesty?
Does collaboration make us more honest or less so?
Does religion improve our honesty?
Most of us think of ourselves as honest, but, in fact, we all cheat. From Washington to Wall Street, the classroom to the workplace, unethical behavior is everywhere. None of us is immune, whether it's the white lie to head off trouble or padding our expense reports. In The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, award-winning, bestselling author Dan Ariely turns his unique insight and innovative research to the question of dishonesty.
Generally, we assume that cheating, like most other decisions, is based on a rational cost-benefit analysis. But Ariely argues, and then demonstrates, that it's actually the irrational forces that we don't take into account that often determine whether we behave ethically or not. For every Enron or political bribe, there are countless puffed rÉsumÉs, hidden commissions, and knockoff purses. In The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, Ariely shows why some things are easier to lie about; how getting caught matters less than we think; and how business practices pave the way for unethical behavior, both intentionally and unintentionally. Ariely explores how unethical behavior works in the personal, professional, and political worlds, and how it affects all of us, even as we think of ourselves as having high moral standards.
But all is not lost. Ariely also identifies what keeps us honest, pointing the way for achieving higher ethics in our everyday lives. With compelling personal and academic findings, The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty will change the way we see ourselves, our actions, and others.
读《不诚实的诚实真相》,我仿佛回到了实验心理学大学课堂。丹·艾瑞里是杜克大学的经济学教授,研究人类的非理性行为,喜欢写作经济学普及文章,畅销书《怪诞行为学》就出自他手。这本书的开头,艾瑞里就将读者带到了他的课堂上,一个演员扮演百万富翁,向学生们兜售致富捷径...
评分毋庸置疑,就算不看这本书,也深知这个世界的不诚实。尤其是生活在这样一个国度。 欣慰的是书的结尾说我国并没有比其他发达国家的子民更善于欺骗。 不幸的是你发现全世界的人们都和我们什么的人一样那么的不诚实。 所以,打算出国逃离这个国度的人们终于把目标发到了其他星球。...
评分 评分全书基本在用小规模的心理学实验的结果来做推论,结论是人经常在欺骗他人的同时相信自己是诚实的。 读后感觉比较差,首先是这些实验的结论不新鲜,其次心理学实验可重复性比较弱,需要有进一步的真实世界的数据来支持。作者的研究结果没有得到商业社会的支持,反而在书中抱怨...
评分丹·艾瑞里又出新书了,这本《不诚实的诚实真相》中文版还是由中信引进。心理学和行为经济学相关领域,近几年热度不减,正如90年代末开始经济学成为显学一样,心理学和行为经济学与工农商学一一沾边,炙手可热势绝伦,成为显学中的显学。 显学说的不好听一点,就是泡沫,一般...
As good as "predictably irrational", but in a different way. Better than "the upside of irrationality".
评分读的中文译本,翻得一般,得其大意罢了。
评分恐怕是最后一本Ariely了。还是很多有趣的小故事和科学试验,但不断说一个试验和开始重复一些耳熟能详的试验说明Ariely有些江郎才尽了吧
评分与之前两本相比,新鲜的东西真的不多。不过半年三本读下来加上网上的追踪,也算对作者和这个领域多少有些认知。更懂得自己和别人多一些,更坦然的面对生活,应该能让自己活的更轻松快乐。想想“了不起的盖茨比”中的一句话,“『不诚实』在女人身上永远也不是一个严肃的问题。”
